The Steel Construction Institute develops and promotes the effective use of steel in construction. It is an
independent, membership based organisation.
Licensed copy:BABTIEGROUP, BABTIE - NATIONWIDE ACCOUNT, 16/06/2004, Uncontrolled Copy, © SCI

SCI’s research and development activities cover many aspects of steel construction including multi-storey
construction, industrial buildings, light gauge steel framing systems and modular construction, development
of design guidance on the use of stainless steel, fire engineering, bridge and civil engineering, offshore
engineering, environmental studies, value engineering and development of structural analysis systems
and information technology.
Membership is open to all organisations and individuals who are involved with the use of steel in
construction. Members include designers, contractors, suppliers, fabricators, academics, and government
departments in the United Kingdom, elsewhere in Europe and in countries around the world. The SCI is
financed by subscriptions from its members, and by revenue from research contracts, consultancy services,
publication sales and course fees.
The benefits of corporate membership include access to an independant specialist advisory service and
free initial copies of SCI publications as soon as they are produced. A membership Pack is available on
request from the Membership Manager.

1- The British Constructional Steelwork Association Limited

The British Constructional Steelwork Association Limited (BCSA) was formed in 1906 and is the national
organisation for the constructional steelwork industry: its Member companies undertake the design, fabrication
and erection of steelwork for all forms of construction in building and civil engineering. Associate Members
are those principal companies involved in the purchase, design or supply of components, materials, services,
etc. related to the industry. Corporate Members are clients, professional offices, educational establishments
etc., which support the development of national specifications, quality, fabrication and erection tech+ques,
overall industry efficiency and good practice.
The principal objectives of the Association are to promote the use of structural steelwork; to assist specifiers
and clients; to ensure that the capabilities and activities of the industry are widely understood and to provide
members with professional services in technical, commercial, contractual and quality assurance matters.. The
services provided by BCSA work both for the overall benefit of the industry and for the direct benefit of
individual companies.
A current list of members and a list of current publications and further membership details can be obtained from:

 Joints in Steel Construction: Simple Connections
(Publication P212, 2002)

Corrigendum 1, October 2002

Tying Capacity of Fin Plate Connections with Single Line of Bolts.
Licensed copy:BABTIEGROUP, BABTIE - NATIONWIDE ACCOUNT, 16/06/2004, Uncontrolled Copy, © SCI

The values of tying capacity given in Table H.27 (pages 410 to 414) and Table H.29
(pages 420 to 424) should be amended to values that are the lesser-of the tabulated values
and the shear capacity of the bolt groups. The shear capacity of the bolt group = n.P,
where n is the number of bolts and P, is the shear capacity per bolt (= 91.9 kN for M20,
grade 8.8 bolt from Table H.49).
l l e reason for this change is that, as stated in Table H.24. the tabulated tying capacities for fin plate
connections were based on the minimum values from Checks Il(i), ll(ii), I2(i) and 12(ii). None of these
checks relate to the shear capacity of the bolt group. Where there is a single line of bolts, the shear capacity
of the bolt group may be less than the tabulated tying capacity.
Also, when carrying out the full design procedure (in accordance with Section 6.5)
an additional check for "structural integrity" should be made for the shear capacity of
the bolt group. This additional check, which may be referred to as Check 13, is:
Tie force 5 n.P,.
In practice these changes will only be of significance in the unusual case when the tie force is greater than
the shear force on the beam.

Values in bold are less than the sin e 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.

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.
Shading indicates that the ply thickness is not suiteble for an outer ply.

Tension capacity normal design
The tension capacity of Grade 8.8 bolts for normal design are shown in Table H.55a and take account of the RHS wall
thickness as well as the bolt strength.

Table H.55a

-
Tension capacity structural integrity
The pull-out resistances for structural integrity are less than those for normal design because the design method used
for structural integrity leads to thinner plates/cleatsthan for normal design methods, based on BS 5950-1:2006’1, and,
as a result, will lead to higher prying forces.
The values in Table H.55b are based on limiting value of fir=300N/mm2for extreme prying (See CHECK 13).
Table H.55b

Shear and bearing capacity

For shear and bearing capacities, refer to capacity tables for ordinary bolts (Tables H.49 and H.52)

Note: Additional information on Flowdrill is given in Appendix F.

HOLLO-BOLT CAPACITIES

Shear capacity
Hollo-Bolts have a shear capacity slightly higher than that for ordinary bolting, since the body of the fastener provides
resistance as well as the bolt. Values are given in Table H.56.
