Q: Which of the following is the main advantage of rivets in steel construction?
  • A. They do not loosen when subjected to vibration.
  • B. They need pre- heating
  • C. They provide an aesthetic finish
  • D. Less work force is required.
Correct Answer: Option A - Advantages of riveted joints– • Riveted joint is more reliable than welded joints in applications which are subjected to vibrations and impact forces. • These joints can be used for non-ferrous metals like aluminimum alloy, copper, brass or even non-metal like plastic and asbestos. • These joints are free from thermal after effect because no heat required in this joint. • Quality inspection is easy in a riveted joint.
