To what temperature would you need to heat the carbon steel
rivets to ensure the plates developed sufficient compressive force
to transmit the load in shear. The force the joint is required to
carry is 20,000 lbs. The plates are to be used for retaining walls
below the permafrost depth, so their operation temperature will be
52 F. The clamped plates are made of steel and have
clean and dry surfaces. Please show all work
