Part B (8 + 16 +
16 = 40)

6 (a) Two plates 16mm are to be joined by M22 bolts of grade 4.6 in butt joint A CO
using 10mm thick cover plates. Determine the bolt value. 1
(Or)
6 (b) Two plates 18mm thick are joined using M20 bolts of grade 8.8 in lap A CO
joint. Find the bolt value. 1
7 (a) A bracket transmits a load of 80 KN at an eccentricity of 30 cm to a L CO
column through 10 bolts of 22mm diameter arranged in two vertical rows of 1
10cm apart. The pitch of the bolts is 8cm and the load lies in the plane of
bolts. Calculate the maximum stress in the bolts.

(Or)
7. (b) Design the bolted connection for the following eccentric L CO
connection: 1
8 (a) Find the efficiency of the lap joint shown in following figure: M20 Bolts A CO
of grade 4.6 and Fe410 plates are used. The bolts of pitch 60mm and edge 1
distance = end distance =30mm. The plates are of thickness 20mm.

(Or)
8 (b) Two plates 10mm and 20mm thick are to be connected by double cover CO
butt joint using 8mm thick cover plates. Find the strength of the joint if M16 A 1
bolts of grade 4.6 and Fe 415 plates are used.
