Homework assignment 7
Solution
Task 1.a) Table A-31, nut height H = 12.8 mm.
Table A-33, washer thickness t = 3.5 mm.
Thus, the grip is l = 2(15) + 3.5 = 33.5 mm. L ≥ l + H = 33.5 + 12.8 = 46.3 mm.
Rounding up L = 50 mm Ans.

Task 1.b) From Eq. (8-14), LT = 2d + 6 = 2(14) +6 = 34 mm

From Table 8-7, ld = L − LT = 50− 34 = 16 mm, lt = l − ld = 33.5 − 16 = 17.5 mm,
Ad = π (142) / 4 = 153.9 mm2. From Table 8-1, At = 115 mm2.
From Eq. (8-17)
Ad At E 153.9 (115 ) 207
=kb = = 808.2 MN/m Ans.
Ad lt + At ld 153.9 (17.5 ) + 115 (16 )

Task 2
C = kb / (kb + km) = 5 Mlbf/in / (5 Mlbf/in +9 Mlbf/in) = 0.36

P = Ptotal/ N = 36 kips / 6 = 6 kips / bolt

Table 8-2: At = 0.226 in2

Table 8-9: Sp = 85 kpsi

Eqs. (8-31) and (8-32): Fi = 0.75 At Sp = 0.75 (0.226 in2 )(85 kpsi) = 14.4 kips

2 a) From Eq. (8-28), the factor of safety for yielding is
