Bolt Specifications
Material : A325-N F nt = 620 MPa F nv = 372 MPa
Loads
Vu= 27.86 kN Mu = 163.13 kN-m
use d = 20 mm
Check bolt shear. The compression side bolts must be capable of resisting the enitre vertical shear
since the inner bolts are not near on edge or adjacent bolts, the outer bolts control.
R nb = 1440 kN > Vu= 62.89 kN OK!
Plate length
L= 454 mm say 460 mm
AISC Design Guide recommends that the minimum design flange force should bw 60% of the flange yield
strength.
Rn = 1.392DL w (1.5) where 1.5 is a factor that accounts for the direction of the load on
the weld.
D= 3.88 sixteenths of an inch. use 1/4 in. fillet weld at each flange.
