The figure shows a roof truss and the detail of the connection at joint B. Member BC and BE are angle sections with the thickness shown in the figure. The working stresses are 80MPa for shear in the rivets and 150 MPa for bearing stress due to the rivets. How many 20-mm-diameter rivets are required to fasten members BC and BE to the gusset plate? 14-mm-thick gusset plate 6 m -13-mm-thick
