It's an undetachable "embedded" connection of a set of parts by upsetting or expanding the material of a malleable element. Less and less used in steel structures, this means of connection remains highly reliable when design rules are properly applied.
A rivet consists of a cylindrical shank with a head, known as the original head. After insertion into the hole in the parts, the emerging part is pushed back, causing the shank to swell, filling the housing and forming a closing head or rivet which ensures axial clamping (cf. ).
The length to be allowed for in addition to the thickness to be joined is 1.5 times the rivet diameter for a round head and 0.8 times the diameter for a countersunk head (cf. ).
A riveted joint is generally designed to work in shear, as it is less suited to...

Principle
Resistance mechanism of a joint colléGlued joint
Bonding involves placing an adhesive between two parts. We usually distinguish between glues, which are traditional products of plant or animal origin, and adhesives, which are synthetic products for applications involving high mechanical stress (known as structural adhesives). The strength of a bonded joint is the result of two mechanisms:
