Basic Bolt Design (LRFD) Reference: AISC 14th Edition

-
Given:
-
Shear faces: m = 1
Diameter of bolt: d = 0.75 in.
Bearing Type
Threads incepted:
A490 , Fub = 150 ksi.
-
Thickness of plate: t = 0.375 in.
Edge distance: e = 1.5 in.
Tensile strength of plate: Fu = 65 ksi
-
Results:
-
Tensile Strength
Nominal tensile stress: Fnt = 0.75 Fub = 0.75 x 150 =112.5
ksi
Tensile resistance: Tr = . Fnt. . d2 / 4 = 0.75 x 113 x 3.14 x
0.752 / 4 =37.3 kips, J3-1
-
Shear Strength
Nominal shear stress: Fnv = 0.45 Fub = 0.45 x 150 =67.5 ksi
Shear resistance: Vr = . m . Fnv. . d2 / 4 = 0.75 x 1 x 68 x
3.14 x 0.752 / 4 =22.4 kips, J3-1

Bolt Bearing
Br = (2.4) t. d. Fu = 0.75 x 2.4 x 0.375 x 0.75 x 65 = 32.9
kips, J3-6a
-
Edge Shear Rupture Strength
Br = (1.2) t. (e - d/2 - 1/16). Fu = 0.75 x 1.2 x 0.375 x (1.5
- 0.75/2 - 1/16) x 65 = 23.3 kips, J3-6a
