TYPES OF BOLTED
CONNECTIONS
Types of joints may be grouped into the
following two:
a) Lap joint
b) Butt joint
Lap Joint
It is the simplest type of joints. In this the
Butt Joint
In this type of connections, the two main

NOTE if there are two vertical lines of a bolts, a value of 2V
is used and n obtained is the number of bolts required in
each row. After arranging the bolts, the connection is checked
for its safety.

WELDED CONNECTION
INTRODUCTION
Advantages:
Welded structures are lighter
Welding process is quiker
Welding is more adoptable than bolting and riveting
Possible to achieve 100% efficiency
Noise production less
Good aesthetic appearance
Connection are airtight and watertight
Alterations are very easy
Disadvantages:
Due to uneven heating and cooling, members are likely

Also known as groove weld
