680 Bolts<br />

ured along the line of the resultant is less than twice the diameter of the bolt. In<br />

this case the bearing strength is reduced in proportion.<br />

23.5 Design strengths<br />

23.5.1 General<br />

Non-preloaded bolts have to resist forces in shear and bearing or tension or combinations<br />

of these. Preloaded HSFG bolts resist shear by developing friction<br />

between the plies; they may also resist external tension. The load capacity of a joint<br />

may be affected if it is excessively long, has a large grip length or thickness of<br />

packing, or is subjected to prying action.<br />

23.5.2 Shear<br />

When partially threaded bolts are loaded in shear some of the threads of the bolt<br />

may lie within the shear plane. The shear strength is then assessed on the tensile<br />

area of the bolt. If however it is known with certainty that no part of the threaded<br />

section of the bolt will fall within the shear plane the full shank area may be used<br />

in determining the strength.<br />

Until a preloaded HSFG bolted shear connection slips, shear force is resisted by<br />

friction. The slip resistance, PsL, is given by<br />

PsL = 1.1 Ks m P0<br />

where Ks = 1.0 for clearance holes;<br />

= 0.85 for oversized holes, short slotted holes or long slotted holes loaded<br />

perpendicular to the slot direction;<br />

= 0.7 for long slotted holes loaded parallel to the slot direction<br />

m = slip factor from BS 5950-1 Table 35 or determined from tests in accordance<br />

with BS 4604. Depending on the condition of the faying surfaces<br />

m varies from 0.2 to 0.5.<br />

P0 = the minimum shank tension as specified in BS 4604.<br />

If the connection is required to be non-slip under factored loads,<br />

PsL = 0.9 Ks m P0<br />

BS 5950-1:2000 clause 6.4.2 makes reference to waisted-shank HSFG bolts. These<br />

are no longer used and the relevant standard has been withdrawn.
