Question

A mild steel flat subjected to tensile force of 940 kN is connected to a gusset plate using bolts. If the permissible force required per pitch length (i) to shear a single bolt (ii) to crush the bolt. and (iii) to tear the plate are 50 kN, 80 kN and 60 kN respectively, then the number of bolts required will be _______
  1. 19

Solution

The correct option is A 19
Number of bolts required

=Tensile forceBolt value

Now, bolt value = Min. of (shear, bearing strength)

=50 kN

Number of bolts required
=94050=18.1819
