Simple Bolted Connections
  • There are different types of bolted connections.
    They can be categorized based on the type of
    loading.
  • Tension member connection and splice. It subjects
    the bolts to forces that tend to shear the shank.
  • Beam end simple connection. It subjects the bolts
    to forces that tend to shear the shank.
  • Hanger connection. The hanger connection puts the
    bolts in tension

Simple Bolted Connections
  • The bolts are subjected to shear or tension
    loading.
  • In most bolted connection, the bolts are
    subjected to shear.
  • Bolts can fail in shear or in tension.
  • You can calculate the shear strength or the
    tensile strength of a bolt
  • Simple connection If the line of action of the
    force acting on the connection passes through the
    center of gravity of the connection, then each
    bolt can be assumed to resist an equal share of
    the load.
  • The strength of the simple connection will be
    equal to the sum of the strengths of the
    individual bolts in the connection.

Bolt Types Materials
  • A307 - Unfinished (Ordinary or Common) bolts
    low carbon steel A36, Fu 413 MPa,
  • for light structures under static load
  • A325 - High strength bolts, heat-treated medium
    carbon steel, Fu 827 MPa,
  • for structural joints
  • A490 - High strength bolts, Quenched and
    Tempered Alloy steel, Fu 1033 MPa
  • for structural joints
  • A449 - High strength bolts with diameter gt 1 ½,
    anchor bolts, lifting hooks, tie-downs

10
Common Bolts
  • ASTM A307 bolts
  • Common bolts are no longer common for current
    structural design but are still available

11
High Strength Bolts
  • High strength bolts (HSB) are available as ASTM A
    325 and ASTM A490

Courtesy of Kao Wang Screw Co., Ltd.
  • Advantages of HSB over A307 bolts
  • Fewer bolts will be used compared to 307 è
    cheaper connection!
  • Smaller workman force required compared to 307
  • Higher fatigue strength
  • Ease of bolt removal è changing connection

12
High Strength Bolts
  • Snug tight
  • All plies of the connection are in firm contact
    to each other No pretension is used.
  • Easer to install and to inspect
  • Pre-tensioned
  • Bolts are first brought to snug tight status
  • Bolts are then tensioned to 70 of their tensile
    stresses

Courtesy of www.halfpricesurplus.com
  • Bolts are tensioned using direct tension
    indicator, calibrated wrench or other methods
    (see AISC)
  • Slip critical
  • Bolts are pre-tensioned but surfaces shall be
    treated to develop specific friction.
  • The main difference is in design, not
    installation. Load must be limited not to exceed
    friction capacity of the connection (Strength Vs.
    Serviceability!)
  • Necessary when no slip is needed to prevent
    failure due to fatigue in bridges.

13
HSB Bearing Type Connections
  • The shear strength of bolts shall be determined
    as follows

AISC Table J3.2
The table bellow shows the values of fv (MPa) for
different types of bolts
  • If the level of threads is not known, it is
    conservative to assume that the threads are type
    N.

14
Bolted Shear Connections
  • We want to design the bolted shear connections so
    that the factored design strength (?Rn) is
    greater than or equal to the factored load. ? Rn
    ? Pu
  • So, we need to examine the various possible
    failure modes and calculate the corresponding
    design strengths.
  • Possible failure modes are
  • Shear failure of the bolts
  • Failure of member being connected due to fracture
    or yielding or .
  • Edge tearing or fracture of the connected plate
  • Tearing or fracture of the connected plate
    between two bolt holes
  • Excessive bearing deformation at the bolt hole

15
Failure Modes of Bolted Connections
  • Bolt Shearing
  • Tension Fracture
  • Plate Bearing
  • Block Shear

16
Actions on Bolt
  • Shear, bearing, bending

Bearing and single plane Shear
Lap Joint
Bending
Bearing and double plane Shear
Butt Joint
17
Bolted Shear Connections
  • Possible failure modes
  • Failure of bolts single or double shear
  • Failure of connected elements
  • Shear, tension or bending failure of the
    connected elements (e.g. block shear)
  • Bearing failure at bolt location

18
Bolted Shear Connections
  • Shear failure of bolts
  • Average shearing stress in the bolt fv P/A
    P/(?db2/4)
  • P is the load acting on an individual bolt
  • A is the area of the bolt and db is its diameter
  • Strength of the bolt P fv x (?db2/4) where fv
    shear yield stress 0.6Fy
  • Bolts can be in single shear or double shear as
    shown above.
  • When the bolt is in double shear, two
    cross-sections are effective in resisting the
    load. The bolt in double shear will have the
    twice the shear strength of a bolt in single
    shear.

Bolted Shear Connections
20
Bolted Shear Connections
  • Failure of connected member
  • We have covered this in detail in this course on
    tension members
  • Member can fail due to tension fracture or
    yielding.
  • Bearing failure of connected/connecting part due
    to bearing from bolt holes
  • Hole is slightly larger than the fastener and the
    fastener is loosely placed in hole
  • Contact between the fastener and the connected
    part over approximately half the circumference of
    the fastener
  • As such the stress will be highest at the radial
    contact point (A). However, the average stress
    can be calculated as the applied force divided by
    the projected area of contact

21
Bolted Shear Connections
  • Average bearing stress fp P/(db t), where P is
    the force applied to the fastener.
  • The bearing stress state can be complicated by
    the presence of nearby bolt or edge. The bolt
    spacing and edge distance will have an effect on
    the bearing strength.
  • Bearing stress effects are independent of the
    bolt type because the bearing stress acts on the
    connected plate not the bolt.
  • A possible failure mode resulting from excessive
    bearing close to the edge of the connected
    element is shear tear-out as shown below. This
    type of shear tear-out can also occur between two
    holes in the direction of the bearing load.
  • Rn 2 x 0.6 Fu Lc t 1.2 Fu Lc t

22
Bolted Shear Connections
  • The bearing strength is independent of the bolt
    material as it is failure in the connected metal
  • The other possible common failure is shear end
    failure known as shear tear-out at the
    connection end

25
Spacing and Edge-distance requirements
  • The AISC code gives guidance for edge distance
    and spacing to avoid tear out shear

AISC Table J3.4
NOTE The actual hole diameter is 1.6 mm bigger
than the bolt, we use another 1.6 mm for
tolerance when we calculate net area. Here use
1.6 mm only not 3.2
  • Bolt spacing is a function of the bolt diameter
  • Common we assume
  • The AISC minimum spacing is

26
Bolt Spacings Edge Distances
  • Bolt Spacings
  • - Painted members or members not subject to
    corrosion
  • 2 2/3d Bolt
    Spacings 24t or 305 mm
  • (LRFD J3.3) (LRFD
    J3.5)
  • - Unpainted members subject to corrosion
  • 3d Bolt
    Spacings 14t or 178 mm
  • Edge Distance
  • Values in Table J3.4M Edge Distance 12t or
    152 mm
  • (LRFD J3.4) (LRFD J3.5)
  • d - bolt diameter
  • t - thickness of thinner plate

27
Bolted Shear Connections
  • To prevent excessive deformation of the hole, an
    upper limit is placed on the bearing load. This
    upper limit is proportional to the fracture
    stress times the projected bearing area
  • Rn C x Fu x bearing area C Fu db t
  • If deformation is not a concern then C 3, If
    deformation is a concern then C 2.4
  • C 2.4 corresponds to a deformation of 6.3 mm.
  • Finally, the equation for the bearing strength of
    a single bolts is ?Rn
  • where, ? 0.75 and Rn 1.2 Lc t Fu lt 2.4 db t
    Fu
  • Lc is the clear distance in the load direction,
    from the edge of the bolt hole to the edge of the
    adjacent hole or to the edge of the material

28
Bolted Shear Connections
  • This relationship can be simplified as follows
  • The upper limit will become effective when 1.2
    Lc t Fu gt 2.4 db t Fu
  • i.e., the upper limit will become effective when
    Lc gt 2 db
  • If Lc lt 2 db, Rn 1.2 Lc t Fu
  • If Lc gt 2 db, Rn 2.4 db t Fu
  • Fu - specified tensile strength of the connected
    material
  • Lc - clear distance, in the direction of the
    force, between the edge of the hole and the edge
    of the adjacent hole or edge of the material.
  • t - thickness of connected material

Design Provisions for Bolted Shear Connections
  • In a simple connection, all bolts share the load
    equally.

31
Design Provisions for Bolted Shear Connections
  • In a bolted shear connection, the bolts are
    subjected to shear and the connecting/connected
    plates are subjected to bearing stresses.

32
Design Provisions for Bolted Shear Connections
  • The shear strength of all bolts shear strength
    of one bolt x number of bolts
  • The bearing strength of the connecting /
    connected plates can be calculated using
    equations given by AISC specifications.
  • The tension strength of the connecting /
    connected plates can be calculated as discussed
    in tension members.

33
AISC Design Provisions
  • Chapter J of the AISC Specifications focuses on
    connections.
  • Section J3 focuses on bolts and threaded parts
  • AISC Specification J3.3 indicates that the
    minimum distance (s) between the centers of bolt
    holes is 2.67. A distance of 3db is preferred.
  • AISC Specification J3.4 indicates that the
    minimum edge distance (Le) from the center of the
    bolt to the edge of the connected part is given
    in Table J3.4. Table J3.4 specifies minimum edge
    distances for sheared edges, edges of rolled
    shapes, and gas cut edges.

34
AISC Design Provisions
  • AISC Specification indicates that the maximum
    edge distance for bolt holes is 12 times the
    thickness of the connected part (but not more
    than 152 mm). The maximum spacing for bolt holes
    is 24 times the thickness of the thinner part
    (but not more than 305 mm).
  • Specification J3.6 indicates that the design
    tension or shear strength of bolts is ?FnAb
  • ? 0.75
  • Table J3.2, gives the values of Fn
  • Ab is the unthreaded area of bolt.
  • In Table J3.2, there are different types of bolts
    A325 and A490.

35
AISC Design Provisions
  • The shear strength of the bolts depends on
    whether threads are included or excluded from the
    shear planes. If threads are included in the
    shear planes then the strength is lower.
  • We will always assume that threads are included
    in the shear plane, therefore less strength to be
    conservative.
  • We will look at specifications J3.7 J3.9 later.
  • AISC Specification J3.10 indicates the bearing
    strength of plates at bolt holes.
  • The design bearing strength at bolt holes is ?Rn
  • Rn 1.2 Lc t Fu 2.4 db t Fu -
    deformation at the bolt holes is a design
    consideration

36
Common bolt terminologies
  • A325-SC slip-critical A325 bolts
  • A325-N snug-tight or bearing A325 bolts with
    thread included in the shear planes.
  • A325-X - snug-tight or bearing A325 bolts with
    thread excluded in the shear planes.
  • Gage center-to-center distance of bolts in
    direction perpendicular to
  • members axis
  • Pitch ...parallel to members axis
  • Edge Distance Distance from
  • center of bolt to adjacent
  • edge of a member

  • Step II. Minimum edge distance and spacing
    requirements
  • See Table J3.4M, minimum edge distance 26 mm
    for rolled edges of plates
  • The given edge distances (30 mm) gt 26 mm.
    Therefore, minimum edge distance requirements are
    satisfied.
  • Minimum spacing 2.67 db 2.67 x 20 53.4 mm.
  • (AISC Specifications J3.3)
  • Preferred spacing 3.0 db 3.0 x 20 60 mm.

  • But, ?Rn 0.75 (2.4 db t Fu) 0.75 x (2.4 x
    20x15x400)/1000 216 kN
  • Therefore, ?Rn 103.7 kN at edge holes.
  • At other holes, s 60 mm, Lc 60 (20 1.6)

  • But, ?Rn 0.75 (2.4 db t Fu) 216 kN. Therefore
    ?Rn 207.4 kN

41

  • But, ?Rn 0.75 (2.4 db t Fu) 0.75 x (2.4 x 20
    x 10 x 400)/1000 144 kN.
  • Therefore, ?Rn 69.1 kN at edge holes.

42
Ex. 6.1 - Design Strength
  • At other holes, s 60 mm, Lc 60 (20 1.6)
    38.4 mm.
  • ?Rn 0.75 x (1.2 Lc t Fu) 0.75 x (1.2 x 38.4 x

  • But, ?Rn 0.75 (2.4 db t Fu) 144 kN
  • Therefore, ?Rn 138.2 kN at other holes
  • Therefore, bearing strength at holes 2 x 69.1
    2 x 138.2 414.6 kN
  • Bearing strength of the connection is the smaller
    of the bearing strengths 414.6 kN

Forces on Eccentrically-Loaded Bolts
  • Eccentricity in the plane of the faying surface
  • LRFD Spec. presents values for computing design
    strengths of individual bolt only. To compute
    forces on group of bolts that are eccentrically
    loaded, there are two common methods
  • Elastic Method Conservative. Connected parts
    assumed rigid. Slip resistance between
    connected parts neglected.
  • Ultimate Strength Method (or Instantaneous Center
    of Gravity Method) Most realistic but tedious to
    apply

46
Forces on Eccentrically-Loaded Bolts with
Eccentricity on the Faying Surface
  • Elastic Method
  • Assume plates are perfectly rigid and bolts
    perfectly elastic ? rotational displacement at
    each bolt is proportional to its distance from
    the CG ? stress is greatest at bolt farthest from
    CG

47
Forces on Eccentrically-Loaded Bolts with

Simple Welded Connections
  • Structural welding is a process by which the
    parts that are to be connected are heated and
    fused, with supplementary molten metal at the
    joint.
  • A relatively small depth of material will become
    molten, and upon cooling, the structural steel
    and weld metal will act as one continuous part
    where they are joined.

Introductory Concepts
Welding Process Fillet Weld
58
Introductory Concepts
  • The additional metal is deposited from a special
    electrode, which is part of the electric circuit
    that includes the connected part.
  • In the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process,
    current arcs across a gap between the electrode
    and the base metal, heating the connected parts
    and depositing part of the electrode into the
    molten base metal.
  • A special coating on the electrode vaporizes and
    forms a protective gaseous shield, preventing the
    molten weld metal from oxidizing before it
    solidifies.
  • The electrode is moved across the joint, and a
    weld bead is deposited, its size depending on the
    rate of travel of the electrode.

59
Introductory Concepts
  • As the weld cools, impurities rise to the
    surface, forming a coating called slag that must
    be removed before the member is painted or
    another pass is made with the electrode.
  • Shielded metal arc welding is usually done
    manually and is the process universally used for
    field welds.
  • For shop welding, an automatic or semi automatic
    process is usually used. Foremost among these is
    the submerged arc welding (SAW),
  • In this process, the end of the electrode and the
    arc are submerged in a granular flux that melts
    and forms a gaseous shield. There is more
    penetration into the base metal than with
    shielded metal arc welding, and higher strength
    results.

60
Introductory Concepts
  • Other commonly used processes for shop welding
    are gas shielded metal arc, flux cored arc, and
    electro-slag welding.
  • Quality control of welded connections is
    particularly difficult, because defects below the
    surface, or even minor flaws at the surface, will
    escape visual detection. Welders must be properly
    certified, and for critical work, special
    inspection techniques such as radiography or
    ultrasonic testing must be used.

61
Introductory Concepts
  • The two most common types of welds are the fillet
    weld and the groove weld. Fillet weld examples
    lap joint fillet welds placed in the corner
    formed by two plates
  • Tee joint fillet welds placed at the
    intersection of two plates.
  • Groove welds deposited in a gap or groove
    between two parts to be connected
  • e.g., butt, tee, and corner joints with beveled
    (prepared) edges
  • Partial penetration groove welds can be made from
    one or both sides with or without edge
    preparation.

62
Welded Connections
  • Classification of welds
  • According to type of weld
  • According to weld position
  • According to type of joint
  • Butt, lap, tee, edge or corner
  • According to the weld process

Weld Limit States
  • The only limit state of the weld metal in a
    connection is that of fracture
  • Yielding is not a factor since any deformation
    that might take place will occur over such a
    short distance that it will not influence the
    performance of the structure

65
Design of Welded Connections
  • Fillet welds are most common and used in all
    structures.
  • Weld sizes are specified in 1 mm increments
  • A fillet weld can be loaded in any direction in
    shear, compression, or tension. However, it
    always fails in shear.
  • The shear failure of the fillet weld occurs along
    a plane through the throat of the weld, as shown
    in the Figure below.

  • ?Rn i.e., ? factor 0.75
  • fw shear strength of the weld metal is a
    function of the electrode used in the SMAW
    process.
  • The tensile strength of the weld electrode can be
    413, 482, 551, 620, 688, 758, or 827 MPa.
  • The corresponding electrodes are specified using
    the nomenclature E60XX, E70XX, E80XX, and so on.
    This is the standard terminology for weld
    electrodes.

68
Design of Welded Connections
  • The two digits "XX" denote the type of coating.
  • The strength of the electrode should match the
    strength of the base metal.
  • If yield stress (?y) of the base metal is ? 413 -
    448 MPa, use E70XX electrode.
  • If yield stress (?y) of the base metal is ? 413 -
    448 MPa, use E80XX electrode.
  • E70XX is the most popular electrode used for
    fillet welds made by the SMAW method.

  • For E70XX, ?fw 0.75 x 0.60 x 482 217 MPa
  • Additionally, the shear strength of the base
    metal must also be considered
  • ?Rn 0.9 x 0.6 Fy x area of base metal subjected

72
Design of Welded Connections
  • For example

  • When comparing elastic analysis to experimental
    on eccentric welded connections, it becomes
    obvious that elastic analysis is over
    conservative.

Ultimate Strength Analysis of Eccentric Welded
Connections
  • Similar to bolts, weld can be divided into
    segments which rotate about an instantaneous
    centre (IC)
  • Instead of summing the forces we can integrate
    over the length of the weld to get the basic
    equations of equilibrium

Slip-critical Bolted Connections
  • High strength (A325 and A490) bolts can be
    installed with such a degree of tightness that
    they are subject to large tensile forces.
  • These large tensile forces in the bolt clamp the
    connected plates together. The shear force
    applied to such a tightened connection will be
    resisted by friction as shown in the Figure below.

108
Slip-critical Bolted Connections
109
Slip-critical Bolted Connections
  • Thus, slip-critical bolted connections can be
    designed to resist the applied shear forces using
    friction. If the applied shear force is less than
    the friction that develops between the two
    surfaces, then no slip will occur between them.
  • However, slip will occur when the friction force
    is less than the applied shear force. After slip
    occurs, the connection will behave similar to the
    bearing-type bolted connections designed earlier.
  • Table J3.1 summarizes the minimum bolt tension
    that must be applied to develop a slip-critical
    connection.

110
Slip-Critical Connections
  • Loads to be transferred ? Frictional Resistance

    supposed to be little or no bearing stresses on
    the bolts in Slip-Critical connections)

Slip-critical Bolted Connections
  • When the applied shear force exceeds the ?Rn
    value stated above, slip will occur in the
    connection.
  • The final strength of the connection will depend
    on the shear strength of the bolts and on the
    bearing strength of the bolts. This is the same
    strength as that of a bearing type connection.
  • Slip critical connections shall still be checked
    as bearing type in case slip occurs as a result

    to 100 kN and the unfactored live load is equal
    to 300 kN. Use A325 bolts. The splice should be
