Friction-grip bolts
Friction-grip bolts are made from high-strength steel so they can be tightened
to give a high shank tension. The shear in the connected plates is transmitted by
friction as shown in figure 1. These bolts are used where strong joints are required,
and a major use is in the joint in rigid frames.
The bolts must be used with hardness steel washers to prevent damage to connected
parts.

Figure1: friction grip bolts


Design procedure:
Friction-grip bolts can be used in shear, tension and in combined shear and tension.
1) bolt in shear:
The capacity is lesser of the slip resistance and the bearing capacity.
1
The slip resistance is given by:
= 1.1 °

Where

° =minimum shank tension (from table 1)


=1.0 for bolts in clearance holes
=slip factor. For general grate =0.45
The bearing resistance are given by:
= ≤ 1 ⁄3
Where:
d= nominal dimeter of bolts
t= thickness of connected plate
= bearing strength of the parts connected.
The bearing strength are given in table 34 of BS 5950 part 1.
=825 N/ for steel grade 43
=1065N/ for steel grade 50
A minimum end distance of e =3d
2) bolts in tension only:
The tension capacity is given by:
= 0.9 °

3) Bolts in combined shear and tension:


Bolts in combined shear and tension must satisfy the following condition:
I. the transverse capacity in slip must be greater than the applied factored
shear .
II. The tension capacity must be greater than the applied factored tension
.
III. In addition, the interpolation relationship must be satisfied:

Table (1): load capacities for friction bolts used in 43 steel plates.

Example1:
Design the bolts for moment and shear connection between floor beam and column
in a steel frame building. The following data are given:
Floor beam 610× 229 UB 140
Column 254× 254 UC132
Moment Dead load = 180 KN.m
Imposed load =100KN.m
Shear Dead load =300KN
Imposed load =160KN

Figure 2: beam to column connection
Solution:
The moment is taken by flange bolts in tension:
Factored moment=(1.4×180)+( 1.6×100)=412KN.m
Flange force =412⁄0.594 =693.6KN
Provide 24-mm diameter friction-grip bolts
Minimum shank tension =207KN
Tension capacity of four bolts = 4× 0.9 × 207=745.2KN > 693KN
The joint is satisfactory for moment
Shear connection:
The shear is resistance by web bolts:
Factored shear ==(1.4×300)+( 1.6×160)=676 KN
Slip resistance of eight No. 24 mm diameter bolts in clearance
Holes=8× 1.1 × 0.45 × 207 =819.7KN

4
If the end plate is 12 mm thick, the bearing resistance
=8× 825 × 24 × 12 × 10 =1901KN
If the end distance of the two top bolts is 55mm the bearing resistance must not
exceed.
=6×825× 24 × 12 × 10 + 2 × 1⁄3 × 55 × 12 × 825 × 10
=`788.6KN
Therefore 24-mm dimeter bolts are satisfactory.
