NDS Table 11G (bolted steel wood connection) question

NDS Table 11G (bolted steel wood connection) question

NDS Table 11G (bolted steel wood connection) question

(OP)
So at the bottom of the table it says that:

"... and a dowel bearing strength (Fe) of 87,000 psi for ASTM A 36 steel."

I thought A 36 is 36 ksi?  Why 87 ksi?  I am trying to make a spread sheet that will give me these table values and I cant seem to justify the 87 ksi.

Look in AISC 360-05 page 16.1-111. The nominal bearing stress when deformation of the hole at service loads is not a design consideration is 1.5Fu.  Fu for A36 if 58,000psi.  1.5*58,000=87,000psi.  It is equation J3-6b in The thirteenth edition manual.

Thanks man!  I can tell you were on hell of a student when you were in school.  Did you sit on front row?  smile

RE: NDS Table 11G (bolted steel wood connection) question

No Problem - I actually sat at the back of the class and paid very close attention.  I was hesitant to sit at the front of the class for fear of being thought of as a suck-up by the slackers. I wouldn't want them all to think I didn't earn the 100's I got on my tests.
