Miscellaneous & Recent Board Problems: Set 18-Miscellaneous & Part 5-Structural Steel Design
Situation: Problem 1 to 3:
A riveted lap joint is shown in Figure ST-17. The rivet have 16mm diameters, and
the permissible stresses are 124MPA
for shear in rivets, 296MPa for
bearing and 165MPa for tension
(on net area) in plates. The plates
are 10mm thick.
Assume hole diameter be 1.5mm
larger than the rived diameter.
Problem 1
Which of the following gives the value of P so that the allowable bearing stress in
rivets will not be exceeded.
A. 285.7kN C. 236.8kN
B. 214.5kN D. 257.7kN
Problem 2
Which of the following gives the value of P so that the allowable tensile stress in
plates will not be exceeded.
A. 302.5kN C. 298.3kN
B. 254.8kN D. 280.5kN
Problem 3
Which of the following gives the safe value of P.
A. 124.6kN C. 280.5kN
B. 114.3kN D. 236.8kN
Problem 5
Which of the following gives the
value of the net area for tension in
plates in square millimeters.
A. 3624
B. 3214
C. 3867
D. 4178
Problem 6
Which of the following gives the value of P so that the allowable tensile stress on
net area will not be exceeded.
A. 575 B. 687 C. 539 D. 424
Situation: Problem 7 to 9
An axially loaded connection is
shown in Figure ST-71. The plate
is A36 steel with thickness of 6mm.
The rivets are 28mm diameter
with allowable shearing stress of
190MPa. Allowable bearing stress
on projected area between rivet
and plate is 370MPa and the
allowable tensile stress on plates
on net area is 150MPa. Hole
diameter is 1.5mm larger than
the rivet diameter.
Problem 7
Which of the following gives the value of P without exceeding the allowable
shearing stress in rivets, in KiloNewton:
A. 495 C. 465
B. 430 D. 450
