Civil Engineering MCQJE Level Civil Engineering
Minimum edge distance for a bolted steel connection is specified mainly to reduce the risk of:
Steel StructuresBolt Edge DistanceMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Plate tearing or splitting near the hole
B
Elastic shortening of the whole member
C
Excessive concrete creep
D
Hydraulic jump formation
Correct Answer
A. Plate tearing or splitting near the hole
Why is this the answer?
Adequate edge distance prevents local tearing/bearing failure around bolt holes.
