a) A b)B c)C d)D
5)
Area of the plate = width * thickness = 200 mm * 10 mm = 2000 mm²
Subtract the area of the bolt hole from the area of the plate: 2000 mm² - 254.46 mm² 1745.54 mm²= 17.46 cm^2
o11)
Bolted connection:
--When bolted, the connection strength is limited by the shear capacity of the bolts, which depends on their diameter
and the bearing capacity of the material (ISA leg) against the bolt shank.
--The wider leg (100mm) offers more material for bearing the bolt load, leading to higher shear capacity and
potentially allowing for fewer bolts or smaller bolt diameters.
--Therefore, for a bolted connection, 100mm is the preferred leg.
Welded connection:
--For welded connections, the strength is governed by the weld material and weld size, assuming proper weld
execution.
--The leg width (100mm or 75mm) doesn't significantly impact the weld strength unless the weld size limitations differ
significantly between the two legs.
--Therefore, for a welded connection, either leg can be used based on convenience or other design considerations
like ease of access or aesthetics.
aIn summary:
Bolted connection: 100mm (preferred)
Welded connection: 100mm or 75mm (depending on design considerations)
Therefore, option d) 100mm if bolted 75mm if welded is the most accurate answer.
12)
Yield stress: This represents the point at which the material's internal stresses exceed its elastic limit, causing
permanent deformation. When the applied load exceeds the yield stress, the tension member undergoes significant
plastic deformation beyond its elastic range, ultimately leading to failure.
Efficiency of weld joint is more than that of the riveted or bolted joint, because when bolt connection or riveted
connections are used we create hole and because of creation of hole the net effective area of the plate is going to be
reduced and this area under tension will be less and therefore, the capacity or strength of the bolt joint will be less
compared to the weld joint.
13) chatgpt
The efficiency of a welded joint is typically considered to be more than that of a bolted joint. In welding, the material is
fused together, creating a continuous and strong connection. This often results in a joint that is more efficient in terms of
load transfer compared to a bolted joint, which involves discrete fasteners.
