Bolted Connections MCQ with answer and solution

HSFG bolts transfer load is mainly due to

Solution

Concept

Load transfer in HSFG bolts

Step-by-step solution

1. HSFG bolts are tightened to a high pretension. 2. The load is transferred by friction between the plates.

Explanation

Because the clamping force produces friction, slip does not occur under service load.

Why the other options are wrong

Shearing and bearing are the mechanisms of ordinary (bearing type) bolts.

Shortcut

HSFG = friction.

Common mistake

Choosing bearing.

Correct answer: A) friction
