Consider two flat plates connected together by means of a single riveted lap joint and subjected to a tensile force. The tensile resistance of unriveted solid plate is 35 kN. If the shear resistance of the rivet, tensile resistance of the riveted plate, and crushing resistance of the plate per pitch length are given as 24.5 kN, 28 kN, and 31.5 kN respectively. The efficiency of this joint will be?
