Bolted Connections MCQ with answer and solution

For reversal of stress, the most suited bolt is

Solution

Concept

Bolts for stress reversal

Step-by-step solution

1. HSFG bolts clamp plates by friction, so there is no slip under reversing loads.

Explanation

Friction grip bolts avoid slip and fatigue.

Why the other options are wrong

Black and ordinary bolts slip.

Shortcut

Reversal = HSFG.

Correct answer: C) Friction grip
