• Introduction:
A rivet is a short cylindrical bar with
a head integral to it.
• The cylindrical portion of the rivet is
called shank or body and lower
portion of shank is known as tail.
• The rivets are used to make permanent
fastening between the plates such as in
structural work, ship building, bridges,
tanks and boiler shells.
• The riveted joints are widely used for
joining light metals.
Design of Riveted joints
• Lap Joint
• Two overlapping plates, which are held together by
one or more rows of rivets
• Butt Joint
• The main plates are kept in alignment butting (i.e.
touching) each other and a cover plate (i.e. strap) is
placed either on one side or both sides of the main
plates.
Design of Riveted joints
• Based on Number
of Strap
– Single-Strap
– Double-Strap
• Based on Rivet
Arrangement
– Chain
– Zig-zag
Design of Riveted joints
• Terminology:
• Pitch (p): The pitch of the rivet is
defined as the distance between
the centre of one rivet to the
centre of the adjacent rivet in the
same row.
P = 3d
• Margin (m): The margin is the
distance between the edge of the
plate to the centerline of rivets in the
nearest row.
m = 1.5 d

Efficiency of Joint
Tensile strength of plate without holes, per pitch length
Tearing Strength:
Pt = (P-d)t[σt]
Shearing Strength:
Ps = {n1(1.875*(π/4)d2[τ])}+n2*(π/4)d2[τ]
Crushing Strength:
Pc = ndt[σc]
Design of Boiler Joints
(Design of longitudinal butt joint)
Pshear-tear = n x (π/4)d2[τ]+(P-2d)t[σt]
2. Diameter of rivet
• Since the thickness of the plate is greater than 8 mm,
therefore the diameter of the rivet hole,
Pitch of rivets:
• By equating the tearing resistance of the plate to the
shearing resistance of the rivets.
Pt = ( p – d ) t × σt = ( p – 21) × 12 × 90
= 1080 ( p – 21)N
pb = 0.33 p + 0.67 d
= 0.33 × 84 + 0.67 × 21 = 41.8 say 42 mm
