VDI 2230, 2001 edition English translation
(OP)
I just learned that the English translation to this guideline will not be published until January 2003. If you need to perform fastened joint calculations, I highly recommend obtaining this guideline. The previous edition available in English is from 1986, and I don't know how one would obtain this. For the new one, go to:

Regarding "single bolt in tension", that is the focus of VDI 2230. However, there is a limited treatment in VDI 2230 for multi-bolted joints, and there are techniques to reduce patterns into a single bolted joint. When you say bolts subjected to shear, do you mean shear-bearing where the fastener itself is sheared, or shear-friction where the joint must resist shear loads. The latter is handled by VDI 2230, and the former really doesn't have much extra to calculate other than the actual cross-sectional area at the shear plane to calculate the ultimate shear force.
While we are discussing information sources, in addition to the two excellent one mentioned above, two other "must-haves" are the ASTM Special Technical Publications 1236 and 1391, Structural Integrity of Fasteners. Does anyone have others that have the depth shown in the 4 items? Thanks.
