Bolt Bearing in a Shear Connection 5

[dik]

The Canadian steel code S16 allows for bearing equal to:

3 x ϕbr x n x t x db x Fu

where ϕbr is 0.8
n is number of fasteners
t is the thickness
db is the bolt dia
Fu is the UTS

I couldn't find anywhere that clarifies that this is the bearing material and not the bolt, and why would the value be so relatively high? I assume the AISC has something similar.

And they say they can't teach old dogs new tricks. They've never met BA or Dik before obviously.

with <Win><Shift><S> you can eliminate a couple of steps... by immediately capturing the 'snapshot' you want. Forgot to add that you can capture parts of *.pdf documents that you normally couldn't access with pdf 'snapshot'.

I don't know about Bart... but, I'm not that old... still active in engineering after 50 years.

Dik,

Thanks for the tip. But I still have to drop it to another program to be able to upload to the forum. Can you directly paste to E-T?

Longer than a bulk of us members have been alive.

Can you directly paste to E-T?

Yes by doing exactly what I described to BA above

I do use win shift S.

Then click the image button and click within the area that says drop file here. then I ctrl-v. all done.

If you've been engineering for 50 years, dik, some would say you're getting a bit long in the tooth.

This is the step I failed. After copy, I got an editing window without the ability to paste to E-T, but another program. I guess I screwed on the "image button", which button is that?

Ah ha. Thanks. Another old dog joining the rank now
