Two plates are joined by double strap butt joints with rivets arrangement as shown in the figure. Width of the plate is 300mm and diameter of rivets 30mm. The thickness of the plates can be taken as 20mm. Allowable stress in tension, shear and compression are 80 N/mm²,60 N/mm² and 160N/mm². Calculate efficiency of the joint.

Strength along A-A, B-B and C-C are 432kN, 468.8kN and 590.4kN and strength of solid plate=wσt=480kN. Lowes is along AA. Hence efficiency=432/480.
