DESIGN OF CIRCUMFERENTIAL LAP JOINT FOR A BOILER

The following procedure is adopted for the design of circumferential lap joint for a boiler.

1. Thickness of the shell and diameter of rivets. The thickness of the boiler shell and thediameter of the rivet will be same as for longitudinal joint.
3. Pitch of rivets.
Knowing the efficiency of the circumferential lap joint , the pitch of the rivets for the lap joint may be obtained by using the relation
  
ECCENTRIC LOADED RIVETED JOINT
When the line of action of the load does not pass through the centroid of the rivet system and thus all rivets are not equally loaded, then the joint is said to be an eccentric loaded riveted joint, as shown in Fig. (a). The eccentric loading results in secondary shear caused by the tendency of force to twist the joint about the centre of gravity in addition to direct shear or primary shear.
Let P = Eccentric load on the joint, and
e = Eccentricity of the load i.e. the distance between the line of action of the load and the centroid of  the rivet system i.e. G.
The following procedure is adopted for the design of an eccentrically loaded riveted joint.

From the above expression, the value of F1 may be calculated and hence F2 and F3 etc. are known. The direction of these forces are at right angles to the lines joining the centre of rivet to the centre of gravity of the rivet system, as shown in Fig (b), and should produce the moment in the same direction (i.e. clockwise or anticlockwise) about the centre of gravity, as the turning moment (P × e).
