Allowable Shear Stress of a 1920's Rivet?
(OP)
Does anyone know what the allowable shear stress
(Fv) is for a 1920's rivet? The oldest value I can find is 15ksi in the 1966 AISC.

1914 Carnegie Steel Company Pocket Companion gives shear values of 12 ksi for shop rivets and 10 ksi for field rivets.
1932 Steel Mill Buildings by Milo S. Ketchum gives shear values of 13.5 ksi for shop rivets and 12 ksi for field rivets.

The earliest AASHTO I could find in the office was the 1953 edition, it has 13.5 ksi.
THe "Handbook of Building Construction" by Hool and Johnson lists 12 ksi for shear; no distinction for shop or field driven.
