Types of Riveted Joints
The location of the riveting dictates the type of joint (refer to below figure) that is made. An ordinary lap joint is used on lightly loaded members. In order to provide a flush surface on one side, the joint may be joggled. Where one flush surface and greater strength is required, the single butt joint is used. The strongest joint is the double strap butt joint.
