Presents a model for predicting rivet joint strength in steel structures, indicating its practical applications in design.

The aim is to model rivet joints for numerical design calculations to enhance strength predictions.
Utilized the compound-based finite element method (CBFEM) for analysis and design.
Modeled plates with four-node quadrangle shell elements.
Employed dependent nonlinear springs to describe component behaviors.
Validated and verified results against experimental data and design specifications.
The CBFEM effectively predicts rivet joint strength.
Shear force transfer is governed by friction between surfaces, influenced by preload force.
Resistance calculations align with EN1993-1-8:2006 standards.
