In shear connection, threads could be: P
Note: Tensile strength values Fub are given in Table 4.4.1 (slide9) or LRFD table J3.2 page
(16.1)-104.
Shear Strength of Fasteners
Rn = m Ab (0.62 Fub)
Bearing Strength of Fasteners
Bearing failure near the edge of the plate is related to the shear failure (tear-out).
Assuming angle () 0 :
Rn 2t Le d2 up
Le 1
Rn 1.24Fu dt

Bearing Strength of Fasteners
1- Minimum Edge Distance: From Center to edge should not less than 1.5xd
Usually this distance is = 2.5xd+2mm to get bearing strength equal to 2.4Fu

Minimum Clearances
Minimum Clear Distances are specified in the design code:
