Simple Bolted Steel Connection
Simple Bolted Steel Connection
(OP)
Hi
I am designing a simple bolted steel connection. I have three forces Fx-Axial force along the beam, Fy Upward direction, Fz in Horizontal direction.I am using double cleat angle to connect UB to UB. thre is huge Fx force in the beam. I don't know how to transfer this force into supporting beam, as I can get resultant of Fy and Fz and check the shear capacity of bolt group, but don't know how to account the Fx on bolt group.

Thanks for your reply please find the sketch in attachment. I have big forces in all three direction.

Thanks

It is not clear how you can have a huge Fx force, but if you do, it creates tension in the bolts and bending in the outstanding legs of the angles as well as bending in the web of the supporting beam.
Considering all three forces together, the bolts are stressed in combined shear and tension. Your code should provide a way to deal with that situation. In CSA S16-01, the subject of "Bolts in Combined Shear and Tension" is addressed in Article 13.12.1.3.
How does the supporting beam resist the "huge Fx force"?

Like BA said how will the main beam resist the Fx force?
