Steel Connection Design

Two types of steel connection

• ordinary and non ordinary

• Screw and bolt

• Screw and weld

• Bolt and weld

Type of bolt connection

• Ordinary and non ordinary

• Non preloaded and HSFG

• Preloaded and HSFG

• Non preloaded and ordinary

Define the way to locate the position of end distance, e1.

• Position of bolt

• Position of plate

• Direction of load transfer

• Direction of shear plane

Define additional checking for HSFG bolt compared to ordinary bolt.

• Bearing

• Slip resistance

• Shear

• Tensile

Define the calculation of area if the failure of the bolt occurred in thread.

• Use table 4.22

When calculating the net area in tensile resistance checking, the width of the plate will be taken at..

• e1 p1 side

• e1 p2 side

• e2 p2 side

• e2 p1 side
