Allowable Edge Distance in Pinned Connection
Allowable Edge Distance in Pinned Connection
(OP)
I am designing a pin connection to take a large tensile load in a very small area.
I need the edge distance to be smaller than the AISC Section D5.2 requires. Ive gone up in metal grade and increased the depth but the edge distance is still not up to code. If the shear rupture/tensile rupture/tensile yield and bearing strengths are well above the applied loads after the safety of factor has been considered....am I ok?
I suppose Im wondering how it would fail. Would it deform? Circle to oval...Thanks JW

I suppose that you could increase the thickness between the hole and the edge if minimum edge distance is not met.

I went ahead and redesigned the system so that the edge distance was met. Thanks for the replies.
