Shear strength of Pin connection

Shear strength of Pin connection

Shear strength of Pin connection

(OP)
I am checking the shear strength of a connection that is using a pin instead of a bolt.  Does it still fall under the criteria of a bolt, just design for it without including the threads? See attached calculation.  Thanks

RE: Shear strength of Pin connection

And there is no bolt tension and associated frictional resistance.

RE: Shear strength of Pin connection

you're using 1/2 Ftu as Fsu.

you're calculating the allowable shear per shear face (there's two of them reacting the applied load)

yeah, it's as though you're shearing the shank of a bolt.

there is also bolt bending to be considered (that's reasonably under the applied load)

RE: Shear strength of Pin connection

Don't forget about bolt bearing checks.
