Allowable Bearing at bolt holes
Allowable Bearing at bolt holes
(OP)
Hi guys,
Please , somebody coluld explain me why AISC-ASD Eq.( J3-1)
allows a bearing strength Fp= 1.2*Fu?
I understand that the maximum strenght the steel can reach is Fu, the rupture strength, then how I can allow 1.2 Fu?.
Thanks in advance

Check out the commentary for J3 in the 3rd LRFD ed. or the 9th ASD ed.

Really, Fu is the rupture in a tension test, and the bearing strength is not the case.
