Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

A When the gauge distance is larger than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a zig-zag line

B When the gauge distance is smaller than the pitch, the failure of the section may occur in a straight right angle section through the centre of rivet holes

C When the gauge distance and pitch are both equal, the failure to the section becomes more likely as the diameter of the holes increases

D All the above.

ANS:D - All the above.

Explain the answer.
