3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What type of connection relies on friction to resist shear?
Think about how pressure between two surfaces can create resistance.
Name one advantage of bolted connections over riveted connections.
Consider installation time and complexity.
What is the primary function of a bearing-type bolted connection?
Recall the definitions of both connection types.
True or False: Friction-type connections require pre-tensioned bolts for effective shear resistance.
Think about how tension affects connections.
A construction project requires a strong bolted beam-to-column connection. You must design using HSFG bolts and ensure load transfer under seismic conditions. Outline the steps to ensure the design meets safety standards.
Recall the design considerations discussed in our lessons.
Given a structure with a maximum allowable shear of 150 kN, determine if a connection using four HSFG bolts with a bearing capacity of 40 kN each is sufficient. Calculate the total bearing capacity and conclude if it's adequate.
Use the formula for total capacity and compare it with the shear demand.
