2.4 Allowable Bearing Stress on Plates at Bolt Holes (Section 5 10.4.7)
On projected area of bolts and rivets in shear connections with end distance in the
line of force not less than 1.5d and the distance center-to-center of bolts not less
than 3d, the allowable bearing stress F) are as follows:
1. In standard or short-slotted holes with two or more bolts in the line of force,
when deformation around the hole is of concern,
Fy = 1.20 Fy Eq. 2.3
2. In long slotted holes with the axis of the slot perpendicular to the direction of
load and with two or more bolts in the line of force,
Fy = 1,00 Fy Eq. 2.4

holes with the edge distance less than 1.5d and in all connections with single bolt in
the line of force:

where:
L. = distance from the free edge to center of the bolt in mm
d = bolt diameter in mm
If deformation around the hole is not a design consideration and adequate spacing
and edge distance is as required by the Code, the following equation is permitted
in lieu of Eq. 2.3:

' Staggered Holes ,
Holes are sometimes staggered, as shown in Figure 2 - 4.
Staggering of the holes increases the net area of the section.
According to Section 502.3, for a chain of holes extending across a
part in any diagonal or zigzag line, the net width of the part shall
be obtained by deducting from the gross width the sum of the
diameters or slot dimensions of all holes in the chain, and adding,

2.10 Effective Net Area, A,
When a tension member frames into a supporting member, some of the load-
carrying ability will be lost unless all connectors are in the same plane and all
elements of the tension member are connected to the support. For example, in the
case of an angle, only one leg may be connected to the joint. A reduction
coefficient, LI, is therefore used to calculate the effective net area. U can be taken as
1.0 if all cross-sectional elements are connected to the support. When the load is
transmitted by bolts through only some of the cross-sectional elements of the
member, the effective net area, A., is calculated by using the following formula
. (Section 502.4.3)
A= UA, Eq. 2.15
where
A,, = net area of the member
Ll = a reduction coefficient
Unless a large coefficient can be justified by test or other recognized criteria, the
