Chapter 7

The document discusses the design of joints used in a structure assembled using bolted connections. It analyzes Joints 1-4 for their strength. All forces and moments acting on Joint 1 are tabulated and its capacities are calculated. The observed forces and moments are lower than allowable values, indicating the joint has sufficient strength. Details of the bolt type, number, diameter, plate thickness and forces/moments are provided in tables for each joint. The capacities of Joint 1 are calculated for shear, tension, bearing and moment, and factors of safety show the observed values are significantly lower than capacities.

7 DESIGN OF JOINTS

Bolted connections have been used to assemble the strtcture. The joints were also analyzed for their strengths.

Figure 6: Considered joints

All the details, forces and moments of these joints are tabulated and the relevant capacities are calculated for J1. The forces and moments observed at the joints are also lower than the allowable values. Therefore, the joints are also of sufficient strength.
