SHEAR STRESS ON BOLTS

Shear force on Bolt due to Fy and Fz is equal to half of the resusltant of the forces
Ps
=
(Fy2+Fz2)
=
1200.00 kN
Bolt load,

Pb

Shear Stress in Bolt, fv =

Ps/nb

75.00 kN

Pb / A b

50.62 ksi =

349.13 N/mm2

40.03 ksi =

276.069 N/mm2

Nominal shear strength in Bolt, Fnv = 0.4 *Fu

Allowable shear strength in Bolt, Fnv = 0.4 *Fu*Amod / FOS

53.24 ksi =

367.172 N/mm2
OK

TENSILE STRESS IN BOLTS & EFFECT OF SHEAR ON TENSILE STRESS

Tension in Bolts pt, Fx/nb

20.00 kN

Tension load (due to clamp forces) in the bolt,T

20.00 kN

Applied pretension load in the bolt,T pt

64.00 kN

Design Tension load = max (Ext Load Tension & Pretension)

Tensile Stress in Bolt, ft = (T+Tpt)/Ab =

64.00 kN

16.24 ksi =

112.00 N/mm2

75.07 ksi =

518 N/mm2

70.06 ksi =

483.2 N/mm2

Nominal tensile strength in Bolt, Fnt = 0.75 *Fu =

Bolts subjected to tension and shear in bearing type connection are designed for
the limiting tensile stress, F'nt is calculated below.
Nominal tensile stress modified to include the effects of shearing stress

Allowable tensile strength in Bolt, = min(Fnt, F'nt)*Amod / FOS

93.18 ksi =

642.612 N/mm2
