Simple Connection Design

Step 1:
Total shear force from Staad 20 kN
Force due to moment 35 kN
Axial force from Beam 67 kN
102 kN

Total shear or Net Resultant 104 kN

Step 2:
Dia of bolt (d) 12 mm

Dia of hole (D) 13.5 mm

Pitch distance 30 mm

Edge distance 20.25 mm

Step 3:
Check for Shear Capacity:
From BS 5950 part 1:2000

Clause 6.3.2.1
Shear capacity of bolt Ps

Shear Area

No of bolts 3.000 Nos

Note: Minimum we consider bolt

Step 4: Check for Bearing capacity of bolt:

From BS 5950 Part 1:2000

Clause 6.3.2.2

Bearing capacity of bolt

Step 5 Check for bearing capacity of connected part

From BS 5950 Part 1:2000

Clause 6.3.2.3

Step 6 Check for Tension Capacity:

Note:
1.if bolt dia bolt is equal to or lesser than 25mm then hole dia + 1.5mm
2.Greater than 25mm then dia +2mm

Pbs = kbs.d.t.pbs but ≤ 0.5kbs.e.t.pbs From Table 33
where
kbs = 1.0 for bolts in standard holes
55.2 KN 0.7 for bolts in oversized and short slotted holes
0.5 for bolts in long slotted and kidney shaped holes
Hence safe
