Q: Which of the following steel connections is classified under friction type?
  • A. Slip critical connections
  • B. Hanger connection
  • C. Slip type connection
  • D. Connection of bracings
Correct Answer: Option A - Friction type– When the force is transferred by friction between the plates due to tensioning of bolts. e.g.- slip-critical connection. Tension connection– When the load is transferred by tension on bolts e.g.- hanger connection. Bearing type– When the bolts bear against the holes to transfer the load e.g. slip-type connections. Shear connection– When the load is through shear e.g. lap joint and butt joint.
