Determine the minimum bolt diameter required to develop


A steel plate is to be attached to a support with three bolts. The plate is 50 mm wide and 11.2 mm thick and the yield strength of the steel is 250 MPa. The ultimate bearing strength of the bolts is 540 MPa. A factor of safety of 1.67 with respect to yield is required for the plate. A factor of safety of 4.0 with respect to the ultimate bearing strength is required for the bolts. Determine the minimum bolt diameter required to develop the full strength of the plate. (Note: Consider only the gross cross-sectional area of the plate-not the net area.)
