Bearing, shearing, and tearing strength is called Rivet value.

In bearing tearing and shearing value we take always Lower value whichever is less

Here my Rivet value is= 3428kg.
Load is = 35tonnes =35x1000=35000.

Then,
No of Rivet= load/ rivet value.
Then,
35000/3425= 10.22.

We can say 11 rivet.

While calculating the shear and bearing capacity of rivet the factor of safety had been calculated. Is it necessary to consider the factor of safety twice? Please, anyone, tell me.

The answer is wrong!

Rivet value is taken as minimum value of Shearing, Bearing and tearing!
No of rivets = Force/Rivet value.
Then the answer is 10.21.

Load Factor of 1.2 gives total load as 35 * 1.2 * 1000 = 42000 kg. Hence the Number of Rivets = 42,000/3425 = 12.26.

So, 13 Rivets are required.

No of rivet = load/rivet vale.

Rivet value is the least value of bearing and shearing.

SO, n = 35000/3425 = 10.22 say 11.

We know number of rivet = force /rivet value.

But here shearing, tearing many value given how can solve explain it.

Rivets are used in WSM method. So why we multiply the load by load factor?

Then answer is 11.

The answer should be 11 because;

n = load/rivet value.
n = 35000/3425,
n = 10.2 = 11.

Arnab said:   1 decade ago
n=p/Rv so from the formula 35000/3425=10.22. So answer should be between a&b.

n = load applied/least strength of rivet = 35000/3425 = 10.22 = 11 rivet.
