Whilst researching riveted joint strength I stumbled across this piece...

http://www.rvplane.com/pdf/RivetLength.pdf

Which I found informative. However, I'm still curious as to the relative strength of joints made with small rivets and fine pitch as compared to larger rivets and a coarse pitch...

I also find it curious that no one seems to be using structural adhesive... Am I missing something?

Thx,
Dave
