A 20 kN force is applied to a lap joint connecting two steel plates
using two identical bolts. A second identical lap joint uses four identical
bolts to carry the same 20 kN force. Both joints are in single shear.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Question

A 20 kN force is applied to a lap joint connecting two steel plates
using two identical bolts. A second identical lap joint uses four identical
bolts to carry the same 20 kN force. Both joints are in single shear.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Accepted Answer

The
four-bolt joint has half the shear stress per bolt compared to the two-bolt
joint

Answer

The
shear stress cannot be compared without knowing the diameter of the bolts

Answer

Both
joints have the same shear stress in each bolt because the applied force is the
same

Answer

The
two-bolt joint has half the shear stress per bolt compared to the four-bolt
joint
