Calculation sheet for strength of bolts

8.8 grade bolt d= 20 mm do = 21 mm


Fub = 800 Mpa Ns = 9 Asb = 314.1593 mm^2
Fy = 640 Mpa Nn = 9 Anb = 245.0442 mm^2
Strength in Shear
Vnsb = 2324.565 KN
P.S.F = 1.25
Vdsb = 1859.652 KN > 870 KN ok

Strength in bearing
edge distance, e = 31.5 mm
Min Pitch, p = 50 mm
Kb = 0.5
t= 30 (Summation of the thicknesses of the connected plates)
Vnpb = 2905.875 KN
Vdpb = 2324.7 KN > 870 KN ok

Please do following check

Reduction factor in length of joint = 1 Lj < 300

Reduction factor in larger grip of joint = 1 Lg < 100

Reduction factor for packing = 1 No packing plate required

No of bolts are ok for the loads mentioned


mm (summation of pitch distances)

mm (summation of plate thicknesses < Lg)
