Question

Consider the following statements :

I. Prying forces induced in the bolts are mainly due to rigidity of connected plates.

II. In compression member connected with the help of bolts, the distance between the centre of two consecutive bolts in the direction of stress should not exceed 16t or 200 mm whichever is less.

which of the above statements is/are incorrect ?

Solution

Prying forces induced in the bolts are mainly due to "flexibility" of connected plates.

For compression member, maximum pitch of the bolts should not exceed 12t or 200 mm whichever is less.
