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

Then answer is 11.

Selvi said:   8 years ago
No of rivet = load/rivet vale.

Rivet value is the least value of bearing and shearing.

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

The answer should be 11 because;

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

Always even num of rivets are provided so 12 num of rivets is required.

1.25 is Factor of safety. FOS= 1.25.

Why 1.25 is multiplied in 35000?

Atif Saeed said:   9 years ago
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.

1.25P/least strength of rivet.

1.25 * 35000/3425 = 12.773.

From where 1.25 comes?

Pranjal said:   10 years ago
Shearing strength = 3425/1.25.

Answer 13.
