Q2 The direct shear load per bolt is F = 8960/6 = 1493 N. The moment is taken only by the
four outside bolts. This moment is M = 8960(0.127) = 1130 N· m.
1130
Thus F  = = 4448 N and the resultant bolt load is
2(0.127)

F = (1493) 2 + (4448) 2 = 4688 N

Bolt strength, Table 8-9, Sy = 690 MPa; Channel and Plate strength, Sy = 290 MPa

Shear of bolt: As = (0.0508)2/4 = 1.26(10-4) m2

S (0.577)(690)(106 )
n = sy = = 10.7 Ans.
 4688 / 1.26(10−4 )

Bearing on bolt: Channel thickness is t = 4.76 mm, Ab = 0.127(0.00476) = 6.05(10-5)
