Battens should be designed to resist longitudinal shear equal to(a) Vt L0 ns(b) Vt L0 / ns(c) Vt /L0 ns(d) Vt L0n/sThe question was posed to me in final exam.This question is from Battens topic in section Design of Compression Members of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right answer is (b) Vt L0 / ns

Easy explanation: Battens should be designed to resist longitudinal shear EQUAL to V = Vt L0 / ns , where Vt is transverse shear force, L0 is distance between centre-to-centre of battens longitudinally, s is minimum transverse distance between centroids of bolt/rivet group/ welding connecting BATTEN to main MEMBER, n is number of parallel PLANES of battens.
