Sometimes it is desirable to connect a member both by riveting and welding. Which statement is TRUE concerning this procedure?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Stress distribution between rivets and welds when both are used on the same connection • Effects of peening/hammering during riveting on nearby welded joints • Behavior of welded joints under shock or deformation compared with riveted joints

💭 Think About

• When you drive and peen a rivet, what kind of forces and vibrations are introduced into the joint, and how might those affect a nearby weld? • In a combined riveted–welded joint, does the weld usually make the plate more likely to tear, or is there another weaker point that tends to fail first? • Think about whether a weld would typically increase or decrease the load carried by each rivet, and what that implies for the stress on the rivet heads.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which statement matches the idea that hammering/setting rivets can introduce high local stresses and distortion. • Check which choices incorrectly assume that welds always strengthen everything without side effects. • Eliminate any option that suggests a failure mode that is less likely than damage to the weld itself in a mixed rivet–weld connection.

Question 1 of 27070

Sometimes it is desirable to connect a member both by riveting and welding. Which statement is TRUE concerning this procedure?

The welding must be completed before the riveting commences.

Tearing through the member is more likely in this type connection.

The weld increases the tensile stress on the rivet heads.

The weld may be broken by the stresses caused by riveting.
