<b>2.1 RIVETING</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rivets of various shapes are made from mild steel bars as shown in fig.2.1.The rivet head is generally round and called a button head.The size of the rivets is the diameter of the shank.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A flat head rivet may be used if the space is limited.Countersunk rivets are used to get a flatter surface.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Holes are drilled or punched in the plates to be riveted.The size of holes are 1.5mm larger than the size of rivets upto 25mm.For rivets of diameter more than 25mm,the diameter of the holes should be 2mm larger than the diameter of the rivets.For riveting,a rivet is heated uniformly to light red colour and then placed in the hole.The head is kept pressed on the plate,while the projected shank is hammered to form another head.On cooling the rivets contracts and grips the plate tightly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Rivets may be driven by hydraulic or by pneumatic power,The rivets may br classified according to the method of driving them as follows:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(i)Power-driven shop rivets are power-driven in the fabrication shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(ii)Power-driven field rivets are power driven at site.Their strenght is less than the strength of the              power driven shop rivets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(iii)Hand-driven rivets have less strength than the power-driven rivets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
(iv)Cold-driven rivets of diameter more than 10mm are not permitted by specifications.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>2.2 BOLTED JOINTS</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Bolts may be used in place of rivets for structures not subjected to vibrations.the cost of bolts is more but it takes less time to fabricate structure with bolted connections.The fabrication work with bolts is noiseless and less skilled labours can also handle it.The stress concentration at the bolts can also be reduced by using high strength friction bolts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The following types of bolts are used in the structures:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(i)Black Bolts </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   Hexagonal black bolts are commomly used in steel works.They are made from low or mediu         </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
carbon steels and should conform to IS:1363-1984.In metric sizes,black bolts are produced in sizes of 5mm to 36mm diameter and of lengths 3 to 10 times the diameter.They are designated as black bolts Md*L-IS:1363,where d=diameter and L=length of the bolts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(ii)Precision and Semi Precision Bolts</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
     They are also known as Close tolerance bolts conforming to IS:1364-1967.Sometimes to prevent excessive slip,close tolereance bolts are provided in holes of 0.15 to 0.12mm oversize,Thios may cause difficulty in alignment and delay in the progess of work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(iii)High-strenth friction grip bolts</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
HSFG bolts have a high yield strength.They should conform to IS:3757-1985.They are tightened by</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
torque wrenches and require hardened washers to induce initial tension,which causes friction between the plate surfaces.Due to friction,there is no slip in the joint and therefore the joints with HSFG Bolts are called friction type or non-slip joints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>2.3 TYPES OF RIVETED AND BOLTED JOINTS </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are two types of riveted or bolted joints:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(i)Lap joint </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
  The first is the lap joint in which the plates to be connected over lap each other.The lap joint may have single-row,staggered or overlap each other. The lap joint may have single-row, staggered or chain riveting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(ii)Butt joint</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   The second is the butt joint in which the plates to be connected butt against each other and the connection is made by providing a cover plate on one or both sides of joint.The butt joint may have a single row or staggered or chain riveting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>2.4 Some Important Definition used for Riveted and Bolted joints </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(i)Nominal diameter</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    The diameter of the shank of rivet before riveting,is called the nominal diameter.For a bolt,the diameter of the unthreaded portion os the shank is calles its nominal diameter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(ii)Effective diameter or gross diameter</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    The effective or gross diameter of rivet is equal to the diameter of the hole it fills after riveting.For a bolt,the nominal diameter is same as the gross diameter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(iii)Gross area </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    The gross area of a rivet or bolt is given by its gross diameter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(iv)Net area </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    The net area of a bolt is the area at the root of the thread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(v)Pitch</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   The distance between centres of any two adjacent rivets is called pitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   Diagonal pitch : The distance between two centres of any two adjacent rivets in the diagonal direction is called diagonal pitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   Staggered pitch : The distance between any two consecutive rivets in a zig-zag riveting,measured parallel to the direction of stressnin the member is called staggered pitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(vi)Gauge</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    A row of rivets parallel to the direction of force is called a gauge line.The normal distance between two adjacent gauge lines is called the gauge distance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(vii)Edge distance </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    It is the distance between the edge of a member or cover plate of the centre of the earest rivet hole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(viii)Proof load</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    Initial tension in HSFG bolts is known as proof load of the bolt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(ix)Slip factor</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
    Coefficient of friction in friction type joint is known as slip factor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>(x)Property class</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
   Bolts are grouped under different grades or property classes depending upon their strength.For example,property class 4.6 indicates that the nominal ultimate tensile strength is 400 Mpa and the nominal yield stress is 0.6*400 = 240Mpa </div>
