Abstract

There is a growing development in techniques that use thin-walled elements in construction and other industries, which is dictated primarily by the demand for lightweight, load-bearing structures, that are simple to manufacture and assemble. The paper presents selected methods of joining thin-walled metal structures. Experimental studies of the load capacity of resistance welded joints and riveted joints were carried out for the thickness of 0.8 mm. Graphs detailing the forces and displacements in the tested joints are shown and the method of sample destruction is presented. As a result of the tests, it was concluded that resistance welded joints achieved a load capacity of about 118% greater than the load capacity of riveted joints.
