In structural practice, steel clip angles are commonly used to transfer loads from horizontal girders to vertical columns. If the reaction of the girder upon the angle is a downward force of 45 kN as shown in Fig. 2-16 and if two 22-mm-diameter rivets resist this force, 45 kN find the average shearing stress in each of the rivets. Assume that the rivet fills Fig. 2-16 the hole.
