Answer: B. 2.5 x diameter of bolt

The minimum pitch distance allowed in bolted connections is 2.5 x diameter of bolt.

Solution

As per IS 800:200, the limitations on pitch in bolted connections are:

Minimum pitch = 2.5 x diameter of bolt.

Minimum pitch < minimum (16t, 200mm) – Tension members.

Minimum pitch < minimum (12t, 200mm) – Compression members.
