Two Indian Standard Flat (ISF) 2 m long are to be jointed to make a me...
Given:
For Fe410 grade of steel: fu = 410 MPa
For bolts of grade 4.6: fub = 400 MPa
Diameter of the bolt, d = 20 mm
Bolt-hole diameter (dh or do) = 22 mm
Area of one bolt =
Ab = 314.16 mm2
The bolts will be under single shearing and bearing.
Strength of the bolt in single shear
= 58 kN
Strength of the joint per gauge length in shear
(since two bolts fall in one-gauge length)
= 2 × 58
= 116 kN
Strength of bolt in bearing
Where, t = thickness of thinner plate
rmb = partial safety factor for
material of bolt = 1.25
K
b is least of
∴ kb = 0.5
Pb = 89.38 kN
Strength of the joint per gauge length in bearing (two bolts fall lies in each gauge length)
= 2 × 89.38 = 178.76 kN
The net tensile strength of plate per pitch length,
⇒ Pt = 289.296 kN
Hence, the strength of the joint per pitch length = 116 kN
Strength of solid plate per gauge length
= 354.24 kN
Efficiency of the joint
= 32.75%
