Maximum edge distance should not exceed ______
(a) 10tε, where ε = √(250/fy), t = thickness of thinner outer plate
(b) 20tε, where ε = √(250/fy), t = thickness of thinner outer plate
(c) 16tε, where ε = √(250/fy), t = thickness of thinner outer plate
(d) 12tε, where ε = √(250/fy), t = thickness of thinner outer plate
This question was addressed to me during an interview.
Question is from Bolted Connections topic in division Bolted Connections of Design of Steel Structures
