Group B (Short Answer Type )
Answer Any Two
2) What are the advantages and disadvantages of Riveted Connections?
3) Design a butt joint to connect two plates 170x10 mm (Grade Fe 410) using M-20 bolt
(grade-4.6) and arrange the bolts to have maximum efficiency of the joint.

2x5=10

4) A tie member of a truss consisting of an angle section ISA 65x65x6 of Fe 410 grade is welded
to an 8 mm gusset plate. Design a weld to transmit a load equal to the full strength of the
member. Assume shop welding
