3. (a) Explain the procedure for designing a longitudinal joint for a boiler
(b)It is required to design the longitudinal rivet joint for a boiler of inner
diameter 1.5m. The steam pressure in the boiler is 2 MPa. The joint is triple
riveted double cover plate butt joint of equal width. The efficiency of the
joint is 80%. Assume the rivets in double shear are 1.875 times stronger than
in single shear. The allowable stresses in shear and crushing of rivets are 60
MPa and 120 MPa respectively. Tensile stress for material of plate = 80
MPa.
6. Two mild steel tie bars for a bridge are to be joined by means of a lap joint.
The thickness of the bar is 12 mm and carries a load of 150 KN. Design the
joint taking the allowable stresses as 100MPa in tension, 160MPa in
compression and 80MPa in shear.
7. (a) What is an eccentric riveted joint?
Explain the method adopted for designing
such a joint
(b) The bracket as shown in below figure is
to carry a load of 45 KN. Determine the size
of the rivet if the shear stress is not to
exceed 40 MPa. Assume all rivets of the
same size.
