Non-preloaded Ordinary Bolts

Values in bold are less than the single shear capacity of the bolt.
Values in italic are greater than the double shear capacity of the bolt.
Bearing values assume standard clearance holes.

If oversize or short slotted holes are used, bearing values should be multiplied by 0.7.
If long slotted or kidney shaped holes are used, bearing values should be multiplied by 0.5.
If appropriate, shear capacity must be reduced for large packings, large grip lengths and long joints.

The tensile stress area (At ) is obtained from standards

The tension capacity of the bolt is given by:

Pnom = 0.8ptAt Nominal

Pt = ptAt Exact

Where:

pt is the tension strength of the bolt.

The shear capacity of the bolt is given by

PS = ps As

where:

ps is the shear strength of the bolt

As is the shear area of the bolt.

In the table, As has been taken as equal to At .

The shear capacity given in the tables must be reduced for large packings, large grip lengths, kidney shaped slots or long joints when
applicable.
