Riveted Joints
10.9 grade steel means that a component manufactured form this grade of steel has 10X100 N/mm^2 tensile strength and 9 is a
multiplier means 90% of 1000 = 900 N/mm^2 is the yield strength of the grade. Similarly we also have grade 8.8, 6.8 also. This is
imperial method implied by engineers to differentiate between different sets of steel grade.
Prying action
As noted in Figure 8.5, prying action occurs in T-type or butt-type connections with
bolts in tension. Bending of the end plate causes the edges of the end plate to bear
hard on the mating surface, and the resulting reaction must be added to the bolt
tension.

Capacity of bolted elements
The capacity of the bolted element in a lap joint designed for bearing depends on
the plate thickness, grade of steel and edge distance in the direction of force. The
design must guard against bolt failure and the following types of connection failure:
• fracture across the connected element (Figure 8.7(a) and(e))
• bearing failure at bolt interface
• tearing failure.
Welded connections
Electric metal arc welding has developed into a very efficient and versatile method for
shop fabrication and construction of steelwork. The main areas of application of
welding are:
(a) Fabrication
• compounding of sections—that is, joining of several plates or sections parallel to
the long axis of the member (Figure 8.8)
• splicing of plates and sections to obtain optimal lengths for fabrication and
transport to the site
• attachment of stiffeners and other details
• connection of members to one another
• attachment of the field connection hardware.
(b) Field work
• beam-to-column connections of the moment-resisting type
• column splices
• field splices for girders and trusses
• steel deck construction
• strengthening of existing steel structures
• jointing of plates in tank, silo, hopper and bunker construction
