Bolted Connection - Worked ExampleFIGURE 13.11: Bolted truss jointFIGURE 13.11 shows the truss plus a detail of the heel joint, but most importantly it gives an exploded view ofthe joint, showing bolt force directions relative to the grain direction. The design force in the top chordmember will be equilibrated by a vertical force at the wall plate <strong>and</strong> a horizontal force in the bottomchord members. This results in the total design force passing through the connection. For this loadingthe force in the bottom chord members due to the applied load is of no concern for this exercise.Critical Limit State <strong>Design</strong> LoadThe critical limit state load for strength is due to dead <strong>and</strong> live load combination applied to the top chord.N* = 1.25.8 + 1.5.6.0N* = 19kNConnector Capacity Factors:For the live load being applied for 5 days:k 1 = 0.77Because there are no rigid steel side plates:k 16 = 1.0210
