I am going through Shigley's Mechanical Design book and have a quick question on fasteners. Sometimes when calculating the spring rate for a member, you have to multiply the rate by 2, why is this? For instance in this problem

When the spring rate is calculated for both the cylinder head and cylinder, both spring rates are multiplied by 2 and then added together to get the total Km. (This is not a homework problem)
Thanks.
