Q: In which type of connection is prying action a concern for tension members ?
  • A. Welded connections
  • B. Riveted connections
  • C. Bolted end connections
  • D. Sleeve connections
Correct Answer: Option C - In most cases of the connection subjected to tension forces, the flexibility of the connected parts, therefore, can lead to deformation that increases the tension applied to the bolts, this additional tension is called prying force.
C. In most cases of the connection subjected to tension forces, the flexibility of the connected parts, therefore, can lead to deformation that increases the tension applied to the bolts, this additional tension is called prying force.
