shear Force distribution on more than 2 columns of bolts
shear Force distribution on more than 2 columns of bolts
(OP)
dear All,
I want to know if the shear force is distributed equally on the bolt columns . That is each column takes an equal share of the shear force . that is P/6 as per attached drawung
and if there is any specs that states so.
Regards

I don't know of a spec that addresses this explicitly. I think there's something for tension connections that modifies the capacity of very long bolt groups to account for the fact that the bolts farthest from the point of load application will be the most lightly loaded.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

It is a very impractical detail, there's no way you should need that amount of bolts for simple end plate connection in shear.
