Where R e is now the ratio of the dowel bearing stresses (F em /F es ), for the bolted<br />

connection and F yb and F v are the bolt bending and yield stresses, respectively. Mode VI has<br />

been excluded from this analysis for bolt diameter because the shear yield stress in the main<br />

member will not change between a wood peg and a steel bolt, and the bolt diameter will only<br />

increase due to the end distance. For instance, if a connection is sized based on the shear in<br />

the peg, then the end distance is not a concern. When an equivalent steel bolt is determined<br />

using this mode, it will be much larger than the wood peg, due to the fact that less end<br />

distance is needed to balance out the load.<br />

From these equations, the largest diameter (D) is used as the equivalent bolt<br />

diameter. The following example (Figure 3-12) shows how a wood connection, with a yield<br />

load of 5,184 lb using two 1” Red Oak pegs, can carry an equivalent load using a 0.53”<br />

diameter steel bolt.<br />
