Figure H.3: Division of the flange into part a and part b<br />

TOWER ANALYSIS<br />

The neutral axis y-y of the connection is located at the position of equilibrium between<br />

the static moments of the areas a and b. The area moment of inertia for the tension<br />

loaded bolts, about the neutral axis of the bolt connection, is determined from:<br />

(H.11)<br />

Where Dpc is the bolt pitch diameter of 210 mm and a is 1.43, calculated from [65, p. 91]. �<br />

is a function of the ratio between the width of the flange and the tension stress area of the<br />

bolt, divided with the arc length between each bolt. It is found to be 0.6 in [65]. This<br />

yields:<br />

Where b is 38.4 mm, calculated from [65, p. 93].<br />

The two contributions are added and total area moment of inertia for the bolt connection<br />

is calculated:<br />
