Pull Out capacity of 3/8" dia rivets
Pull Out capacity of 3/8" dia rivets
(OP)
I have a situation where we are attaching a .125" thick light gauge member to a 11" thick light gauge member using a 3/8" steel rivet. Does anyone have a reference that lists the PULL OUT capacity and SHEAR capacity of a 3/8" dia steel rivet in a .11" thick light gauge member?
Thanks
Thanks

Why such a large rivet for a light gauge application? Why not several smaller diameter rivets instead?
Do you have a sketch or photo of the application?

I called the manufacturer back and he told me it was actually a 3/16" rivet.
We are attaching one light gauge member to the side of another light gauge member and pulling sideways on it.

We are pulling sideways such that the rivet is in tension not shear

As per the spanish code quoted above typical load factors were 1.33 for dead and 1.5 for live so similar to US values.

Then apply a safety factor to get your design conditions. It appears you are trying to apply a "catalog" design condition to an application that is "non-catalog" ....
