Benefits of rivets connections for construction

Rivet connection is one method to connect a simple, short rod with a head at the top, the middle of the cylinder body and a conical bottom beheaded as a tail (see picture). Construction of the head and tail are made to withstand the permanent position of the rivets in place. Rivets body designed to be very strong to be able to withstand the load when the connection is functioning.

Materials commonly used for making rivets are steel, brass, aluminum, and copper on the type of connection or load received by the connection. Connection with the use of rivets is to keep the connection because the connection is opened when it should destroy its rivets and can not be reinstalled, but replacing the rivets with new ones.

Rivet connection is generally applied to bridges, buildings, boilers, tanks, ships, and airplanes. Use of this method to connect with rivets is also very well be used for connecting aluminum plates. The use of rivets are generally used today for hard plates welded and soldered to the relatively small size. Each rivet head shape has a distinct purpose, each type has peculiarities in its use.
