Bolted Connections MCQ with answer and solution

In prefabricated steel structures, which type of connection provides the highest resistance to seismic forces?

Solution

Concept

Moment connections

Step-by-step solution

1. Welded moment connections give rigid, ductile joints.

Explanation

They provide the highest resistance to seismic forces.

Why the other options are wrong

Pinned and simple bolted connections transfer no moment.

Shortcut

Seismic = rigid moment connection.

Correct answer: B) Welded moment connection
