Figure P15-3 shows a bolted and doweled joint eccentrically loaded in shear. The shear loads are taken by the alloy steel dowel pins, the number and size of which are given in Table P15-3. Though the figure shows 5 dowel pins, that is not the case for every row in the table. For a = 4 in, b = 4 in, l = 10 in, P = 2500 lb, and the data in the row(s) assigned from Table P15-3, find the factor of safety against yielding in shear for each dowel pin. See Table 15-12 for strength data
