Question

A joint is said to be double-riveted, triple riveted etc. accordingly to the number of sheets used.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an interview.

My question is from Riveted Joints in section Computer Aided Drawing, Riveted & Welded Joints of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: For a lap joint, if the plates are made to connect using only one row of rivets then it is called single-riveted lap joint. A joint is said to be double-riveted, triple riveted etc. accordingly to the number of rows of rivets in it.
