Civil Engineering MCQJE Level Civil Engineering
During an JE solution review on Bolt Bearing, what is the safest statement about plate material around a bolt? Avoid the common trap that bearing is checked only in welds.
Steel StructuresBolt BearingMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
bearing is unaffected by edge distance
B
bearing failure is global column buckling
C
bearing failure is local crushing/tear near the bolt hole
D
bearing is checked only in welds
Correct Answer
C. bearing failure is local crushing/tear near the bolt hole
Why is this the answer?
Bolt bearing capacity depends on plate thickness, bolt diameter and edge details. Correct option: C.
