    pinned connection bearing stress

    o.k. i'm not done beating this horse - sorry. does anyone have a link to material property specs that would actually list the ultimate bearing strength and the yield bearing strength for grade 50 A653 steel? I've been searching and i find that these values are very seldomly listed - probably...

    pinned connection bearing stress

    thanks cory. just to confirm, i can then assume that ALLOWABLE bearing stress with a pin load (not bolt or rivet) lies somewhere in the range of 1.2 to 1.5 times the tensile yield. This is in fact what i believe to be true, but i just want confirmation on the theoretical. I also believe that...

    pinned connection bearing stress

    I know this has been somewhat addressed but i often see it addressed as it relates to a bolted connection. I want to confirm that allowable bearing stress for a pinned connection can be treated in a similar fashion as a bolted connection where allowable bearing stress equals a factor of 1.2 to...
