Question: Two beams ( UB 5 3 3 x 2 1 0 x 8 2 ) are designed to be connected by two steel cover plates

Two beams (UB533 x 210 x 82) are designed to be connected by two steel cover plates in order to transfer
an axial load (P) of 1500 kN as shown. The width of the steel cover plate is 210 mm and the bolt size used
is M20. Assuming that the grade of all steel members is S275, calculate the minimum thickness of the
steel cover plate needed to be used.
