Steel structures miscellaneous

  1. A moment M of magnitude 50 kN-m is transmitted to a column flange through a bracket by using four 20 mm diameter rivets as shown in the figure.
    The shear force induced in the rivet A is
    1. 250 kN
    2. 175.8 kN
    3. 125 kN
    4. 88.4 kN
Correct Option: B

Force due to moment,

∴ Fm =
M.r
Σ r2

r = √(0.5)2 + (.05)2 = 0.0707
∴ Fm =
50 × 0.0707
= 175.8 kN
4 × (.0707)2
