Bearing Type Connection with Non-Pretension Bolts


Subjected to Shear and Tension Force
Example
Design the connection in figure using bearing type connection with
non-pretensioned bolts M18 grade 5.8. Bolt threads are included in
plane of shear. Draw the connection to scale 1:10 (Gusset plate
thickness = 10mm).
1- Calculate Rshear and Rb

2- Calculate no of bolts n1 (shear only)


3- Calculate no of bolts n2 (Shear only)

4- Calculate no of bolts n3 (Tension only)


Example
Design the connection in figure using bearing type connection with
non-pretensioned bolts 11116 grade 4.6. Bolt threads are excluded
from plane of shear. Draw the connection to scale 1:10 (Gusset plate
thickness = 10 mm).
1- Calculate Rshear and Rb

2- Calculate no of bolts n1 (Shear only)


3- calculate no of bolts n2 (Shear only)

4- Calculate no of bolts n3 (Shear only)


5- Calculate no of bolts n4 (Shear and Torsion)
• Assume n4 = 2 n3 = 2*4 = 8 bolts
• Calculate Rt

• Check interaction equation

Design the connection in figure using bearing type connection with
non-pretensioned bolts M18 grade 6.8. Bolt threads are excluded
from plane of shear. Draw the connection to scale 1:10 (Gusset plate
thickness = 10 mm).
Welded connection
Welded connections are often easier to fabricate than are bolted
connections. However, in framed connections the joint will
usually require erection bolts in either temporary (or
permanent) erection plates or angles to hold the parts during
alignment and fitting up for the welding. Welding is the joining
of pieces of metal by heating the contact points to a fluid, or
nearly fluid state and with or without the application of
pressure. The earliest welding involved heating the pieces to a
plastic state and then hammering them together.

Type of weld connection


• Butt weld
• Fillet weld
The main difference between a butt and a fillet weld is the angle
between the joining workpieces. If the surfaces to be joined are
on the same plane, then it is a butt weld. If the surfaces are
perpendicular (with an angle of 90°), then they are usually
joined with a fillet weld
Fillet weld size
1- The maximum size of fillet weld should not exceed the thickness of
the thinner plate to be welded.
2- It is recommended that the following limitations in sizes of fillet
welds as related to thickness of the thicker part to be joined should
be observed as shown in figure.

3- The minimum size of fillet welds is 4 mm for buildings and 6 mm


for bridges.

Fillet weld Length


1- The effective length for load transmission should not be less than 4
times the size of weld or 5 cm whichever is largest.
2- The maximum effective length of fillet welds should not exceed 70
times the size.
4S < L < 70S
Steps
1- get F1 and F2

F2 = F -F1

2- Allowable stress

4-Area of weld =

Area of weld = 2 Lw * Sw
5-Assume Sw

6-Get Lw
7-Check
4S < Lw < 70S
Example
design the connections as welded connections,
assume st (37).
Case 1: members 3 & 4 separate
Case 2: members 3 & 4 continuous
Given:
Memb.1: F=10.2t 2 Ls 45x5
Memb.2: F= 5.9t 2 Ls 55x62
Memb.3: F= 16.3t Ls 60x6
Memb.4: F=22.8t 2 Ls 70x7
Solution:
Member 1
2 Ls 45x5 e = 1.28 cm
1- get F1 and F2
Fl = 10.2 x 1.28 / 4.5 = 2.9 ton
F2 = 10.2 -2.9 = 7.3 ton
2- Allowable stress
qw = 0.2 Fu
qw = 0.2 *3.6 = 0.72 t/cm2
3- Assume Sw
Assume S = 5 mm
