Q1 Compare five prominent aspects of a bolted and a welded steel connection. CO1, L1 2
Q2 Explain the difference between nominal and gross diameter of a bolt. Also CO2, L2 2
explain the difference between pitch and gauge distance.
Q3 Describe various types of failure in a riveted joint with the help of diagrams. CO2, L2 4
Q4 Find bolt value of M30 bolt (grade 4.6), connecting two plates 16 mm thick CO2, L3 4
by double cover butt joint. The thickness of the cover plates is 10 mm.
Assume any other value, if required.
Q5 A double bolted double cover butt joint is used to connect two plates of 16 CO2, L5 4
mm thickness with chain bolting. The bolts are M20 of grade 4.6, placed at a
pitch of 60 mm. Calculate safe load per pitch length and efficiency of the
joint. (Note: Safe load = Factored load/1.5)
Q6 Design a butt joint to connect two plates 200 x 8 mm (Fe 410 grade) using CO2, L6 8
M16 bolts of grade 4.6. Arrange the bolts to give maximum efficiency.
