This is 10t 12 t 16 t
This is right answer ,
Maximum pitch rivet in steel stack -10t
Maximum pitch rivet in steel tank - 3 t
Maximum pitch in tension - 16 t Or 200 ( minimum of both
Maximum pitch in compression - 12t Or 200mm(minimum of both)
Brow this is not 101.answer is 10t
What is meant by 101,,?please explain,,,
It's right Answer is 16t or 200mm--->tension
12t or 200mm--->compression
