The composite beam shown is fabricated by connecting two W rolled-steel members, using bolts of -in diameter spaced longitudinally every 6 in. Knowing that the average allowable shearing stress in the bolts is , determine the largest allowable vertical shear in the beam.
Expert Answer
Given: Bolt diameter (d) = 5/8 inch. Bolts are spaced longitudinally every 6 inches. Average allowable shearing stress in the bolts = 10.5 ksi.
