d is the nominal diameter of the bolt
pbb is the bearing strength of the bolt = 1000 N/mm 2
tp is the web thickness Table 31
\ Pbb = 20 ¥ 6.9 ¥ 1000/103 kN
= 138 kN
138 kN > 59.2 kN
The bearing capacity of the bolt is adequate.
Bearing capacity of web
The bearing capacity of the web is given by the following expression:
but
Pbs = kbs d tp pbs
Pbs £ 0.5 kbs e tp pbs
where e is the end distance in the direction of bearing and is conservatively
taken as the horizontal end distance
pbs is the bearing strength of the web = 460 N/mm 2 for S275
steel
kbs is the coefficient allowing for the type of hole = 1.0
