    DESIGN OF RIVETED JOINTS

    P1: A double riveted double cover butt joint in


    plates 20 mm thick is made with 25 mm
    diameter rivets at 100 mm pitch. The permissible
    stresses are : σt = 120 MPa; τ = 100 MPa; σc
    = 150 MPa
    Find the efficiency of joint, taking the strength of
    the rivet in double shear as twice than that of
    single shear.
    Solution:
    Given data: t = 20 mm ; d = 25 mm ; p = 100 mm ;
    σt = 120 MPa = 120 N/mm2; τ = 100 MPa = 100
    N/mm2; σc = 150 MPa = 150 N/mm2
    Calculate the tearing resistance (Strength) of the plate,
    shearing resistance and crushing resistance of the rivet.
    (i) Tearing resistance of the plate:
    We know that tearing resistance of the plate per pitch
    length,
    Pt =( p – d ) t × σt = (100 – 25) 20 × 120 = 180 000 N
    (ii) Shearing resistance of the rivets:
    Since the joint is double riveted butt joint, therefore the
    strength of two rivets in double shear is taken.
    We know that shearing resistance of the rivets,
    Ps = n × 2 × (π/4) × d2 × τ = 2 × 2 × (π/4) x 252 x100 =
    196 375 N
    (iii) Crushing resistance of the rivets:
    Since the joint is double riveted, therefore the
    strength of two rivets is taken.
    We know that crushing resistance of the rivets,
    Pc = n × d × t × σc = 2 × 25 × 20 × 150 = 150 000 N
    ∴ Strength of the joint = Least of Pt, Ps and Pc =
    150 000 N
    (iv) Efficiency of the joint:
    We know that the strength of the unriveted or solid
    plate,
    P = p × t × σt = 100 × 20 × 120 = 240 000 N
    ∴ Efficiency of the joint =
    Least of Pt, Ps and Pc / strength of the unriveted or
    solid plate
    = 1500000/ 240000 =0.625 or 62.5% Ans.
    P2: Design a double riveted butt joint with two
    cover plates for the longitudinal seam of a
    boiler shell 1.5 m in diameter subjected to a
    steam pressure of 0.95 N/mm2. Assume joint
    efficiency as 75%, allowable tensile stress in
    the plate 90 MPa ; compressive stress 140 MPa
    ; and shear stress in the rivet 56 MPa.
    Solution:
    Given Data: D = 1.5 m = 1500 mm ; P = 0.95
    N/mm2; ηl = 75% = 0.75 ; σt = 90 MPa = 90
    N/mm2; σc = 140 MPa = 140 N/mm2; τ = 56
    MPa = 56 N/mm2
    (i) Thickness of boiler shell plate:
    We know that thickness of boiler shell plate,

    (ii) Diameter of rivet:


    Since the thickness of the plate is greater than 8 mm,
    therefore the diameter of the rivet hole,

    Refer PSGDB, the standard diameter of the rivet hole ( d )


    is 21 mm and the corresponding diameter of the rivet is
    20 mm.
    (iii) Pitch of rivets:
    Let p = Pitch of rivets. The pitch of the rivets is
    obtained by equating the tearing resistance of the
    plate to the shearing resistance of the rivets.
    We know that tearing resistance of the plate,

    Since the joint is double riveted double strap butt joint,


    as shown in Figure, therefore there are two rivets per
    pitch length (i.e. n = 2) and the rivets are in double
    shear.
    Assuming that the rivets in double shear are 1.875
    times stronger than in single shear,
    Double riveted double strap (equal) butt joints
    From PSGDB, for a double riveted double strap butt joint
    and two rivets per pitch length, the value of C is 3.50.

    Since the value of p is more than pmax, therefore we shall


    adopt pitch of the rivets, p = pmax = 84 mm
    (iv) Distance between rows of rivets:
    Assuming zig-zag riveting, the distance between the rows
    of the rivets (according to I.B.R.),

    (v) Thickness of cover plates:

    (vi).Margin:
    We know that the margin, m = 1.5 d = 1.5 × 21 = 31.5
    say 32 mm
    (vii) Efficiency for the designed joint:
