Assumptions

1. External Loading = Ptotal = 30 kip

2. Thickness of Both Members = 0.5 in
3. Material of Bolt = Gray Cast Iron
4. Material of Members = Gray Cast Iron
5. Major Diameter of Bolt = 0.5 in
6. Only Tensile Force is acted on bolt and members

Design Criteria

According to above assumptions, if yielding factor of safety n P , factor of safety against

overloading n L and factor of safety against joint separation n o are greater than 1, then
my assumptions are true. And bolt design is safe.

Calculation Of Km
Using Eq. 8.20;
 5

0.5774 πEd
K=
( 1.155 t+ D−d )( D+ d )
ln
( 1.155 t+ D+d ) ( D−d )

E=14.5× 106 psi

d=0.5∈¿
D=1.5 ( d ) =0.75∈¿
t=0.595∈¿
By putting values in Eq. 8.20

∴ K=14.88 ×106 lbf /¿

Since members are of same material;
⸫ K 1=¿ K ¿ 2

And then using Eq. 8.18

K1 K2
Km=
K1 +K2

By putting values in Eq.8.18

∴ K m=7.4 × 106 lbf /¿

Calculation Of Kb
Using Eq. 8.17
Ad At E
Kb=
( A d l t ) +(A t l d )
π d2 2
Ad = =0.19634 ¿

From Table 8-2
At =0.1599∈¿

From Table A-31; using Hexagonal Nut

H= ∈¿

From Table 8-32, using ½ N Washer
t=0.095∈¿
 6

There are total 2 washers which are used ; to evenly distribute load so that stress
concentration can be reduced.
1. Under the bolt head
2. Under the nut
From Table 8-7
l=1.19∈¿

L=1 ∈¿

L 1
T =¿ 2 d+ =1.25∈¿ ¿

l d =L−LT =0.5

l t =l−l d =0.69

By putting values in Eq.8.17

∴ K b=2.12 ×106 lbf /¿

Calculation Of C
Using Following Eq.
Kb
C=
Kb+ Km

By putting values in above Eq.

∴ C=0.229

Calculation Of Fi
Using Eq. 8.31
F i=0.75 A t S p

From Table 8-9;

S p=85 kpsi

By putting values in above Eq.

∴ F i=¿10.19 kip ¿

Calculation Of Fm
 7

As connection has total 4 bolts

P total 30
∴ P= = =7.5 kip
N 4
∵ P m=( 1−C ) P

By putting values in above Eq.

Pm =5.2575 kip

Using Eq. 8.25

By putting values in Eq. 8.25
F m=Pm −Fi

F m=−4.93 kip

So,
F m <0

Calculation Of nL

nL = Factor of safety guarding against overloading

Using Eq. 8.29;

S p At −F i
n L=
CP
By putting values in above Eq.

∴ nL =1.98
 8

Calculation Of np
np = Factor of safety guarding against static stress /Yielding factor of saftey
Using Eq. 8.28;
S p At
np=
CP+ F i

By putting values in above Eq.

∴ n p=1.14

Calculation Of no
n0 = Factor of safety guarding against joint separation
Using Eq. 8.30;
Fi
n o=
P ( 1−C )
By putting values in above Eq.

∴ no=1.76

Result
Fm F m=−4.93 kip
F m <0
no 1.76
np 1.14
nL 1.98

All factor of safety are reasonably greater than 1, that means this bolt can even absorb
the impact of impulse. So assumptions which I have taken earlier
are true. Therefore following bolt is suitable for this connection.
