Shear strength of bolt
Nominal strength of bolt
Rn.shear = Fnv  Ab  N s (AISC 360-10, J3-1)

where
Fnv nominal shear strength (expressed as a stress)
The nominal shear strength, Fnv is base on the ultimate tensile stress of the bolt with several
modification factors. First, the ultimate shear stress is taken as 0.625 times the ultimate tensile
stress (Fisher et al., 1978). Next, there is a length factor of 0.90 for connections no longer than 38in
(for longer connections, this factor is reduced to 0.75). If the threads are in the plane of shear, the
reduction of the bolt area is accounted for by using 80% of the nominal bolt area. Instread of applying
this reduction directly to the bolt area, a factor of 0.80 is applied to Fnv . In this way, the nominal bolt
area can be used whether the threads are in or out of the plane of shear.

Ultimate tensile stress of the bolt Fu  800 MPa

The length of the connection l  910 mm

Length factor ϕlength  0.9 if l  38in

High-strength bolts in slip-critical connections in shear only
A connection with high-strength bolts is classified as either a slip-critical connection or a
bearing-type connection. A slip-critical connection is one in which no slippage is permitted, that is, the
friction force must not be exceeded. In a bearingtype connection, slip is acceptable, and shear and
bearing actually occur. In some types of structures, notably bridges, the load on connections can
undergo many cycles of reversal. In such cases, fatigue of the fasteners can become critical if the
connection is allowed to slip with each reversal, and a slip-critical connection is advisable. In most
structures, however, slip is perfectly acceptable, and a bearing-type connection is adequate. (A307
bolts are used only in bearing-type connections). Proper installation and achievement of the
prescribed initial tension is necessary for of the bolts is that they be tensioned enough so that the
surfaces of contact in the connection firmly bear on one another. This installation produces the
snug-tight condition referred to earlier in the discussion of the turn-of the-nut method.

As discussed earlier, the resistance to slip will be a function of the coefficient of static friction and
the normal force between the connected parts. This relationship is reflected in the provisions of the
AISC Specification. The nominal slip resistance of a bolt is given by
Rn.slip = μ  Du  hf  T b  ns (AISC 360-10, J3-4)
where
μ mean slip coefficient for class A or B surfaces, as applicable, and determined as follows, or
as established by tests:
(i) For Class A surfaces (unpainted clean mill scale steel surfaces or surfaces with Class A
coatings on blast-cleaned steel or hot-dipped galvanized and roughened surfaces)
μ = 0.3
(ii) For Class B surfaces (unpainted blast-cleaned steel surfaces or surfaces with Class B
coatings on blast-cleaned steel)
μ = 0.5

Choose μ  0.5

Du = 1.13 a multiplier that reflects the ratio of the mean installed bolt pretension to the
specified minimum bolt pretension. The use of other values may be approved by
the engineer of record.

strength of bolts, rounded off to nearest kip or kN.

(i) Where there are no fillers or where bolts have been added to distribute loads in the filler
hf = 1
