2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the primary difference between bolted and welded connections?
Consider how each type holds the structure together.
What type of weld has a triangular cross-section?
Think about the shape of the weld.
Which type of connection uses high-strength bolts for load transfer?
Consider the connection that involves bolts.
True or False: Fillet welds are commonly used in situations needing rigidity.
Think about where welds are applied in strong structures.
A structural engineer needs to design a series of connections for a new bridge. Describe the factors that influence the decision to use bolted versus welded connections.
List the pros and cons of each connection type.
You are tasked with ensuring that a welded connection can withstand a tension force of 40 kN with an allowable weld strength of 250 MPa. Calculate the throat thickness needed if the weld length is 200 mm.
Use the formula: Throat thickness = Force / (Weld strength × Length).
