Prying Action in Euro Code?

Prying Action in Euro Code?

Prying Action in Euro Code?

(OP)
Hi is there anyone familiar the design of Prying Action for structures, say Bolts, in EC3?
It looks like they don't individually seperate the prying action for bolts as AISC Design.
I don't have the annex (annex J) for EC3 yet. is there a way to by bass the annex J and design the bolts prying action with general EC3 code?

Thanks

RE: Prying Action in Euro Code?

Hi there,

I have not used eurocode 3 yet but am very familier with its British precurser BS 5950. That code dealt with prying action by multiplying the tensile resitance of the bolts by 0.8. Sounds very rule of thumb but its obviously based on scientific principles. I imagine EC3 has a similar approach so you could take the tensile the capacity of the bolts as 0.8pt
