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
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)
