PRINCIPLES OF STEEL DESIGN

BOLTED TENSION MEMBERS (CONCENTRICALLY)

Modes of Failure:

1. Tension on Gross Area 4. Shear on Rivets/Bolts

P = 0.6FyAg P = FvAv

Av = Ab . n
2. Tension on Net Area

P = 0.5FuAe
5. Shear Rapture (Block Shear)
Ae = U . An
P = 0.3FuAv + 0.5FuAt
An = Ag - dht

3. Bearing on Projected Area STAGGERED CONNECTION

P = FpAp COCHRANE’S:

Ap = ∑db . t 𝑆2

WELDED TENSION MEMBERS (CONCENTRICALLY)

Tensile load based on shear capacity of weld

P = 0.707tLFv ; Fv = 0.30Fu

Tension load based on Net Area

P = 0.50FuAe
Ae = UAg

Tension load based on Gross Area

P = o.60FyAg

Tension load based on Block Shear

P = 0.3FuAv + 0.5FuAt
