The content of the lecture has two items the first one is the relation between ultimate stress and the Nominal shear strength, while the second item is the Bearing and tear-out description. These items are shown in the next slide image.

The nominal shear strength for a bolt Fnv.

The Nominal shear strength, which is denoted as Fnv is based on Ultimate strength. The relation stated that Fnv=Fult* 0.625. We had before discussed the shear subject while discussing the shear for beams and we consider the shear stress factor is approximately 0.60.

But regarding the bolts, the Code considers. That the Nominal strength =Fu*0.625 but again multiplied by two factors, for the first factor it is Ca, Ca depends on the length of the connection.

While Cb, for the types of threaded whether included or excluded. For high-strength tensile bolts. Whether X or N.

For the case of Ca, it is equal to 0.75, if the connection is bigger than 38″. Ca is = 0.90 if the connection =38″. For the case of Cb, it is equal to 1, if the threaded part is excluded or the shear line does not pass by the thread of the bolt.

For the case of Cb, it is equal to 0.80, if the threaded is included, which means that the shear plane cuts the threaded portion of bolts.

Let us refer back to the equation, the shear If Fult=120 kSI. while the shear factor 0.625*ca=0.90 if the connection is >38″, cb=1 for threaded portion is excluded, the multiplication will give =120*0.625*0.9*1=67.50 KSI.

But if we consider the threaded is included, then multiply again by 0.80=67.5*0.80=54 ksi.

But if we consider the threaded included, then multiply again by 0.80 = 67.5*0.80 = 54 ksi. Let us have a look at Table J3.2.

The Fult=120.0 ksi, for the case of group A, ASTM A 325. For group B, where ASTM A 490, then Fu=150 ksi, table J3.2 is divided into two parts, in which the first part is Nominal tensile strength=0.75*Fult, whether threaded included or excluded.

Relation between nominal shear strength and f ultimate.

Let us have a look at Table J3.2.The Fult=120.0 ksi, for the case of group A, ASTM A 325. For group b, where ASTM A 490, then Fu=150 ksi, table J3.2 is divided into two parts, in which the first part is Nominal tensile strength=0.75*Fult., whether threaded included or excluded.

For group A where ASTM A-325, the F tensile Fnt=0.75*120=70 ksi. For group B, where ASTM A-490, the F tensile Fnt=0.75*150=112.50=113 ksi.

Let us discuss Fnv.The nominal strength for shear, as agreed, is 120*0.625*0.90=67.50=68 ksi for a connection >38″; the x or the threaded are excluded.

Let us check the table back. We will find that 68 ksi is in the table at Group A, at the x, excluded. Group A, e.g., X, when threads are excluded from the shear planes. If again multiplied by 0.80, for the case of the threaded portion being in the shear plane, then the Fnv=54.4 ksi=54 ksi.

Again, for group b, we have Fult=120 ksi multiplied by 0.625*0.90=68 ksi. Fnv=Fult*0.625*0.90=0.563*Fult. For Fult=150 ksi, then Fnv=0.563*150=84 ksi. For N, then Fnv=150*0.563*0.80=67.50=68 ksi.

Nominal shear strength value and tensile strength value for bolts.

The values of nominal shear strength and nominal tensile strength for bolts in the RCSC.

Refer to the bolt council table, Research Council on Structural Connections. For ASTM A 325 or group A, the static tension is 90 ksi. The static tension in group B is 113 ksi. For Fatigue for repeated loads like in bridges, refer to sec 5.5.

Here is the shear condition for connection<=38″, then we will have fnv=68 ksi and 54 Ksi; refer back to table J3.2. The same figures are there. If the connection is >38″, then Fnv will be 45 ksi and 56 ksi for the threaded included in the shear plane.

Here, in the case of threaded is excluded, the first case for connection <=38″, we have Fnv=68 ksi and 84 ksi. Back to J3.2, we will find the two figures Fnv =68 ksi and 84 ksi. The case for the included thread with connection>38″.

Nominal shear strength and tensile strength values.

Bearing and tear -out of a simple connection.

Bearing depends on the hole elongation. This is different from the slip connection, which we will discuss later. On the critical slip, elongation is prevented. I quote when deformation at the hole elongation will not exceed 1/4″. When high tensile stress occurs on the net section. If it is not a design criterion, other relations can be estimated.

Then, a discussion of the tear-out is shown. The tear-out for Lh external: One part will split the same as a wedge shape. The inclination angle is based on the external clear distance. If the deformation is of design criteria, or deformation 0.25″ or not, then the equation is to check out the upper limit, which is 2.4*d *t*Fult.

If not a design criterion, then Rn=1.5*Lc*t* Fult.

For the bearing and tear out LRFD and ASD values φ=0.75 while Ω=2.00, for the nominal strength of the connected material

The different equations presented in the specs are presented herewith. For case ( i )of bearing, when elongation of 0.25″ is a design criterion, then Rn=2.40*d*t*Fult.

For case ii of bearing, when elongation of 0.25″ is not a design criterion, a higher value for Rn is given, Rn=3*d*t*Fult.

For the tear-out case( i), if deformation at the bolt hole is a design criterion, Rn=1.2LctFult, While Rn=1.5Let*Fult if the deformation is not a design criterion.

Design equations for the deformation value of bolts.

For long slotted connection with the slot perpendicular to the direction of the force. Again, the bearing value is Rn=2.30dtfult, while for tear-out Rn=1.0LcFultt, there is a condition c for connections made using bolts that pass completely through an un-stiffened box member.

This is table J3.3 if the bolt gives the hole dimension for various bolt values, whether it is an oversized, short slot, or long slot. The hole diameter is bigger than the diameter of the bolt by 1/16″ for the standard, as shown in the table.

Table for the values of Nominal hole dimensions.

This is table 3.1, nominal bolt hole dimensions for standard diameter, oversized, shot slotted, or long slotted bolts. The bearing value is based on the slot condition.
