S13
Apex Connection - Ver W2.6.01 - 16 Jan 2013

Title : Example
Code of Practice : BS5950 - 1990
Created : 12/6/2017 9:33:55 AM

Notes and Assumptions

1 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes.
2 All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes.
3 It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges
to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them.

The resistance is the smaller of the 3 possible failure modes :

Mode 1 : Complete yielding of the End Plate

4 . Mpl .
R1 = 1000
m

= 210.000 kN

Mode 2 : Bolt Failure with yielding of the End Plate

2 . Mpl . 1000 + n . 2 . Bt
R2 =
m+n
2 2.625 1000 + 50 2 12.594
=

= 65.094 kN

Mode 3 : Bolt Failure only

R3 = 2 . Bt
= 2 12.594
= 25.188 kN

Therefore R = R3 = 25.189

Bolt tension or end plate bending failure

Check 6 : Bearing of the End Plate

The worst load is encountered for Load Case : 103
with Fb = 7.324 kN

The Bearing Capacity of the Plate at any Bolt is the lesser of :
