3. Introduction
โข The design of joints is one of fascinating aspect.
โข The success or failure of a design can be hinge on proper selection use of
its fastener.
โข It is also a very big business and is a significant part of our economy
โข Thousands to millions of fasteners are used in a single complex assembly.
E.g. the Boeing 747 uses about 2.5 million fasteners, some of which costs
several dollars.
โข There are several types of commercially available fasteners.

โข Methods of joining parts are extremely important in the engineering of a
quality design, and it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the
performance of fasteners and joints under all conditions of use and design.
Thread Standards and Definitions
๏ The pitch is the distance between
adjacent thread parallel to thread axis.
๏ The major diameter d is the largest
diameter of a screw thread.
๏ The minor (or root) diameter ๐ ๐ is the
smallest diameter
๏ The pitch diameter ๐ ๐ is a theoretical
diameter between the major and minor
diameters.
๏ The lead l is the distance the nut moves when the nut is given one turn.

โข Points of stress concentration are at the fillet, at the start of the threads (run
out), and at the thread-root fillet in the plane of the nut when it is present.
โข The thread length of inch-series bolts, where d is the nominal diameter, is
where the dimensions are in millimeters.

8. Bolted and Riveted Joints Loaded in Shear
โข Riveted and bolted joints loaded in shear are treated exactly alike in design and
analysis.
โข Figure 8โ23a shows a riveted connection loaded in shear. Let us now study the
various means by which this connection might fail. Figure 8โ23b shows a failure
by bending of the rivet or of the riveted members. The bending moment is
approximately M = Ft/2, where F is the shearing force and t is the grip of the
rivet, that is, the total thickness of the connected parts. The bending stress in
the members or in the rivet is, neglecting stress concentration,

โข Figure 8โ23e illustrates a failure by crushing of the rivet or plate.
โข Calculation of this stress, which is usually called a bearing stress, is
complicated by the distribution of the load on the cylindrical surface of
the rivet.
โข The exact values of the forces acting upon the rivet are unknown, and so
it is customary to assume that the components of these forces are
uniformly distributed over the projected contact area of the rivet.
โข This gives for the stress
ฯ = โ
๐น
๐ด
โข where the projected area for a single rivet is A = td. Here, t is the
thickness of the thinnest plate and d is the rivet or bolt diameter.

11. Cont.
โข Edge shearing, or tearing, of the margin is shown in Fig. f and g, respectively.
โข In structural practice this failure is avoided by spacing the rivets at least 1
1
2
diameters away from the edge.
โข Bolted connections usually are spaced an even greater distance than this for
satisfactory appearance, and hence this type of failure may usually be
neglected.
โข In a rivet joint, the rivets all share the load in shear, bearing in the rivet,
bearing in the member, and shear in the rivet.
โข In a bolted joint, shear is taken by clamping friction, and bearing does not
exist.

The two 1๐๐ ๐ฅ 4๐๐ 1018 cold-rolled steel bars are butt-spliced with two
0.5๐๐ ๐ฅ 6๐๐ 1018 cold-rolled splice plates using four 0.75in diameter 16 UNF
grade 5 bolts as depicted in bellow fig. For a design factor of ๐ ๐ = 1.5
estimate the static load F that can be carried if the bolts lose preload.
12
13. solution
Given data: minimum strengths of ๐ ๐ฆ = 54 ๐๐๐ ๐ and ๐ ๐ข๐ก = 64kpsi are found for
the members, and minimum strengths of ๐ ๐ = 85kpsi and ๐ ๐ข๐ก = 120kpsi for the
bolts are found.
๐น/2 is transmitted by each of the splice plates, but since the areas of the splice
plates are half those of the center bars, the stresses associated with the plates
are the same. So for stresses associated with the plates, the force and areas
used will be those of the center plates.

โข On the basis of bolt shear, the limiting value of the force is 45.9 kip,
assuming the threads extend into a shear plane. However, it would be poor
design to allow the threads to extend into a shear plane. So, assuming a good
design based on bolt shear, the limiting value of the force is 57.8 kip. For
the members, the bearing stress limits the load to 54 kip.

17. Shear Joints with Eccentric Loading
โข In the previous example, the load distributed equally to the
bolts since the load acted along a line of symmetry of the
fasteners.
โข The analysis of a shear joint undergoing eccentric loading
requires locating the center of relative motion between the
two members.
โข In bellow fig. let ๐ด1to ๐ด5 be the respective cross-sectional
areas of a group of five pins, rivets, or bolts.
โข Under this assumption the rotational pivot point lies at the
centroid of the cross-sectional area pattern of the pins,
rivets, or bolts.
โข Using statics, we learn that the centroid G is located by the
coordinates ๐ฅ and ๐ฆ,
๐ฅ =

18. example
โข Introduce two forces P1 and P2
at the center of gravity โGโ of
the rivet system.
โข Assuming that all the rivets are
of the same size, the effect of
P1 = P is to produce direct shear
load on each rivet of equal
magnitude. Therefore, direct
shear load on each rivet
18
19. Cont.
โข The effect of ๐2 = ๐ is to produce a turning moment of magnitude
๐ท ร ๐ which tends to rotate the joint about the center of gravity โGโ of the rivet
system in a clockwise direction.
โข Due to the turning moment, secondary shear load on each rivet is produced.
โข In order to find the secondary shear load, the following two assumptions are made :
a) The secondary shear load is proportional to the radial distance of the rivet under
consideration from the center of gravity of the rivet system.
b) The direction of secondary shear load is perpendicular to the line joining the center
of the rivet to the center of gravity of the rivet system.
Let ๐น1, ๐น2, ๐น3 ... = Secondary shear loads on the rivets 1, 2, 3...etc. ๐1, ๐2, ๐3... = Radial
distance of the rivets 1, 2, 3 โฆetc. from the center of gravity โGโ of the rivet system.
19
20. Cont.
โข The force taken by each bolt depends upon its radial distance from the
centroid; that is, the bolt farthest from the centroid takes the greatest load,
while the nearest bolt takes the smallest. We can therefore write

We know that the sum of the external turning moment due to the eccentric load
and of internal resisting moment of the rivets must be equal to zero.

where F is the largest force among rivets
โข When the secondary shear load on each rivet is equal, then the heavily
loaded rivet will be one in which the included angle between the direct shear
load and secondary shear load is minimum. The maximum loaded rivet
becomes the critical one for determining the strength of the riveted joint.
Knowing the permissible shear stress (๐), the diameter of the rivet hole may
be obtained by using the relation,

22. Exercise
Shown in Fig. 8โ28 is a 15- by 200-mm rectangular steel bar cantilevered to a
250-mm steel channel using four tightly fitted bolts located at A, B, C, and D. For
F = 16 kN load find
(a) The resultant load on each bolt
(b) The maximum shear stress in each bolt
(c) The maximum bearing stress
(d) The critical bending stress in the bar
22
23. Solution
(a) Point O, the centroid of the bolt group in Fig. 8โ28, is found by symmetry. If
a free-body diagram of the beam were constructed, the shear reaction V
would pass through O and the moment reactions M would be about O. These
reactions are
๐ = 16๐๐ , ๐ = ๐ ๐ฅ ๐ = 16 425 = 6800 ๐. ๐
In Fig. 8โ29, the bolt group has been drawn to a larger scale and the reactions
are shown. The distance from the centroid to the center of each bolt is

(b) Bolts A and B are critical because they carry the largest shear load.
the bolt will tend to shear across its minor diameter. Therefore the shear-

(c) The channel is thinner than the bar, and so the largest bearing stress is due
to the pressing of the bolt against the channel web. The bearing area is Ab = td

moment is M = 16(300 + 50) = 5600 N ยท m
The second moment of area through this section is obtained by the use of the

44. Stresses in Welded Joints in Torsion
โข Figure 9โ12 illustrates a cantilever of length l welded to a column by two fillet welds.
โข The reaction at the support of a cantilever always consists of a shear force V and a
moment M. The shear force produces a primary shear in the welds of magnitude
๐โฒ =
๐
๐ด
where A is the throat area of all the welds
โข The moment at the support produces secondary shear or torsion of the welds, and
this stress is given by the equation
๐โฒโฒ =
๐๐
๐ฝ
where r is the distance from the centroid of the weld group to the point in the weld of
interest and J is the second polar moment of area of the weld group about the centroid
of the group.
When the sizes of the welds are known, these equations can be solved and the results
combined to obtain the maximum shear stress. Note that r is usually the farthest
distance from the centroid of the weld group

โข Figure 9.13 shows two welds in a group. The rectangles represent the
throat areas of the welds.
โข Weld 1 has a throat thickness ๐ก1 = 0.707โ1, and weld 2 has a throat
thickness ๐ก2 = 0.707โ2. Note that โ1 and โ2 are the respective weld sizes.
The throat area of both welds together is
๐ด = ๐ด1 + ๐ด2 = ๐ก1 ๐ + ๐ก2 ๐
The x axis in fig. 9.13 passes through the centroid ๐บ1 of weld 1. the second
moment of area about this axis is

โข The distance r must be measured from G and the moment M computed about G.
โข Setting the weld thicknesses ๐ก1 and ๐ก2 to unity leads to the idea of treating each fillet
weld as a line.
โข The resulting second moment of area is then a unit second polar moment of area.
โข The advantage of treating the weld size as a line is that the value of ๐ฝ ๐ข is the same
regardless of the weld size. Since the throat width of a fillet weld is 0.707h, the
relationship between J and the unit value is ๐ฝ = 0.707โ
