Code Requirements

Design Examples

Components which make up the complete structure are fastened together by means of:

1. RIVETS (older version)

2. BOLTS (newer version)

3. WELDS

Types of Connectors

1. Rivets: They are made from rivet bar stock in a

machine which forms one head and shears the rivet to desired length.

Steel rivets are always heated before driving

Most rivets are driven by pressure-type riveters which complete riveting in one stroke.

Types of Connectors

Typical Round Head Rivet

CE-409: Lecture 04 Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan

Rivets are generally made from steel conforming to ASTM A502 and comes in 2 grades:

i. Grade 1(carbon steel)

ii. Grade 2 (carbon-manganese steel)

Types of Connectors1. Rivets: Riveting processes

In riveted connections magnitude of clamping is function of length of rivet and magnitude of shrinkage after the head is formed.

Magnitude of slip depends on the extent to which rivet fills the hole.

Types of Connectors1. Rivets: Characteristics of riveted connections

Riveting required a crew of 4 to 5 experienced riveters

Bolt installation is less labor intensive

Riveting is time consuming operation requiring preheating, driving and finishing

Types of Connectors1. Rivets: Causes of rivet obsolescence

( Structural Non Usage Rivets )

Rivet strength is low compared to high strength bolts

High strength bolts are now economical

Riveting is still used in some industries and applications such as aircraft industry

Types of Connectors1. Rivets: Causes of rivet obsolescence

a) Unfinished (A307)A307 is known by names unfinished, rough,

common, ordinary and machine.

They are made of low carbon steel having tensile strength of 60Ksi.

Types of Connectors2. Bolts: Two common types of bolts are:

b) High strength bolt (A325,A449,A490).A325 is made of medium carbon steel whose

tensile strength decreases with increase in dia.

High strength bolts can be tightened to large tensions.

Types of Connections2. Bolts: Two common types of bolts are:

Typical High Strength Bolt

Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) prescribes four tightening procedures.

1.Turn of the nut method

2.Calibrated-wrench tightening

3.Installation of alternate design bolts

4.Direct-tension-indicator tightening

T = Tensile Force on

∆ = Joint Displacement

T = Tensile Force on

Connection

∆ = Joint Displacement

1. Slip-Critical connections

Connection transmits the force by friction produced between the faying surfaces by the clamping action of the bolts.

Slip-critical connections are recommended for joints subjected to stress reversal, severe stress fluctuation, impact, vibration or where slip is objectionable

Types of Bolted connection

The clamping force applied to the bolt brings the two members closeenough so that appreciable friction is produced between them whichis then responsible for resisting the load. The more the clampingforce the more is the friction and strong is the connection but the clamping force need not to be greater than tensile strength of thebolt.

1. Slip-Critical connections

Slip critical connection becomes bearing type connection after the slip occurs so every slip critical connection is essentially a bearing type connection also.

2. Bearing type connections

Load is transferred by shearing and bearing on the bolt.

Capacity in shear depends on whether shear plane intersects the body of bolt or threaded portion.

2. Bearing type connections

Bearing type connection is the most widely used general type connection in which the load is resisted by the bolt body without any friction between faying surfaces.

Type of connection Failures

1. Shearing Failure of Bolts.

2. Bearing Failure of plate.

3. Tearing failure at edge of plate.

1. Shearing failure of bolts

2. Bearing Failure of Plate

Shear & Bearing Area

3. Tearing Failure at edge of Plate

Shearing Failure edge of plate Transverse Tension Failure

Tests showed, failure by tearing through free edge of material will not occur if Le measured parallel to line of applied force is not less diameter of bolt multiplied by ratio of bearing stress to tensile strength of connected part.

Type of connection Failures3. Tearing Failure at edge of Plate

Force transmitted by the bolt

P = fp D t ------------------------(A)

Force to cause failure along two shear planes

P = 2(Le – D / 2 ) t u

u = 0.7 Fu

Eqn (C) can be approximated as

Spacing between holes

Eccentricity of Applied Force

Plates of lap joint tends to bend.

Bending produces non uniform bearing of the fastener on the plates
