Fasten595020030101
Design Method
The design method is based on BS5950-1:2000 and BS4604:Parts 1& Part 2: 1970. Various details are
described below.
Non-preloaded Bolts:
Grades 4.6, 6.8, 8.8, 10.9, HSFG General Grade & HSFG Higher Grade
The shear capacity Ps is calculated as:
Ps = ps As
where
ps is the shear strength of bolts taken from Table 30 of the code, and
As is the Tensile Stress Area of the bolts as specified in respective British Standards.
The bearing capacity is taken as lesser of the bolt bearing capacity Pbb and the connected ply bearing
capacity Pbs. The bolt bearing capacity Pbb is calculated as:
Pbb = d tp pbb
where
d is the nominal bolt diameter,
tp is the thickness of the connected ply.
pbb is bearing strength of the bolt obtained from Table 31 of the code.
When the bolts are countersunk, tp is taken as the ply thickness minus half the depth of countersinking.
The depth of countersinking is taken as half the bolt diameter based on a 90o countersink.
When the Edge Distance e of a bolt hole in the direction of its bearing load is not less than 2d, the
bearing capacity of the connected ply Pbs is calculated as:
Pbs = kbs d tp pbs
where
kbs is a coefficient to allow for hole type and taken as:
- for bolts in standard clearance holes kbs = 1
- for bolts in oversize & short slotted holes kbs = 0.7
- for bolts in long slotted and kidney-shaped holes kbs = 0.5
pbs is the bearing strength of the connected parts obtained from Table 32.
When the end distance e of the bolt hole in a ply is less than 2d, the bearing capacity of the connected
ply Pbs is calculated as:
Pbs = 0.5 kbs e tp pbs
where
e is the end distance of the bolt hole.
The tension capacity Pt of a bolt is calculated as:
Pnom = 0.8 pt At as nominal capacity by Simple Method to Clause 6.3.4.2
Pt
= pt At as tension capacity by Exact Method to Clause 6.3.4.3
where
pt is the tension strength obtained from Table 34 of BS5950, and
At is the tensile stress area as specified in respective British Standards.
Fasten595020030101
Combined Tension and Shear Capacity of Non-preloaded Bolts

For any bolt diameter, the Combined Tension and Shear Capacity is calculated by typing a value in the
cell for Applied Tension in its row. When subjected to both Tension and Shear, the combination shear
capacity Fs as per clause 6.3.4.4 is given by:
Fs = (1.4 - Ft/Pnom) Ps
<= Ps
for bolts designed by using the simple method
where Ft is the applied external tension and Pnom , Ps are as defined above.
Preloaded High Strength Friction Grip Bolts

The slip resistance PsL of a preloaded bolted is given by:
PsL = 1.1 Ks U Po for connections designed as non-slip in service
PsL = 0.9 Ks U Po for connections designed as non-slip under service loads.
where
Po is the minimum shank tension as specified in BS 4604: Part 1 for General Grade and Part 2 for
Higher Grade, and
Ks = 1.0 for clearance holes
= 0.85 for oversize holes and short slotted holes
= 0.85 for long slotted holes loaded perpendicular to the slot.
= 0.7 for long slotted holes loaded parallel to the slot.
U is the Slip Factor in the range 0.1 to 0.6, depending upon the condition of faying surfaces. Table 35
of the code gives them as 0.5 for Class A, 0.4 for Class B, 0.3 for Class C and 0.2 for Class D surface.
HSFG worksheet provides 4 radio buttons to select a Slip Factor value from 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.2. To
use a different value in the range 0.1 to 0.6, the user can change the 4th radio button cell to any desired
value.
In connections designed as Non-slip in service, capacity after slipping is calculated as per clause 6.4.4.
When the Edge Distance e of a bolt hole in the direction of its bearing load is not less than 3d, the slip
capacity should not exceed the bearing capacity Pbg given by:
Pbg = 1.5 kbs d tp pbg
where
pbg is bearing strength of the connected parts given in Table 32
kbs is the coefficient for the type of hole defined as above. (NB the code implies the use of this factor
by referring to the usage of clause 6.3.3 but omits including it in clause 6.4.4)
When the end distance e of the bolt hole in a ply is less than 3d, the slip capacity should not exceed the
bearing capacity of the connected ply Pbs is given by:
Pbs = 0.5 kbs e tp pbs
The Tension capacity of HSFG Bolts Ptot is calculated as implicit in clause 6.4.5 of BS5950:
Ptot = 1.1 Po for non-slip in service (but Ptot <= At pt)
Ptot = 0.9 Po for non-slip under factored load
where
Po is the minimum shank tension as specified in BS4604, At is the tensile stress area and pt is the design
tension strength of bolts from Table 34 of BS5950-1:2000.
Fasten595020030101
Combined Tension and Shear Capacity of Preloaded Bolts

This Capacity of General Grade Bolts is calculated by typing a Tension load value in the cell for a bolt
diameter in the Applied Tension column.
Higher Grade HSFG Bolts cannot be subjected to External Tension. BS4604: Part 2 restricts their use to
joints subject ONLY TO SHEAR. Combined Tension and Shear analysis for such bolts is therefore not
permitted by this Template.
When subjected to combined Tension and Shear, the shear capacity Fs for General Grade Bolts is given
by:
Fs = (1 - Ftot / 1.1Po) PsL
<= PsL
for connections non-slip in service
Fs = (1 - Ftot / 0.9Po) PsL
<= PsL
for connections non-slip under service loads
where
Ftot is the applied external tension and Po, PsL are as defined in the above.
Fillet Welds
The strength of fillet welds is based on their throat thickness. By assuming that connected angle of the
welded plates is 90 degrees, the throat thickness is taken as 0.7 times the weld size or leg length.
Using the Simple Method as per clause 6.8.7.2 , the weld capacity is taken as:
Pw = 0.7 pw leg length /1000 kN/mm
Using the Directional Method as per clause 6.8.7.3 , the weld capacities are taken as:
PL = 0.7 pw leg length /1000 kN/mm as Longitudinal Shear Capacity
PT = K PL kN/mm
as Transverse Shear Capacity
where
pw is design strength in N/mm2 from Table 37 of the code for Electrodes Classes 35, 42 and 50
K is the enhancement factor for transverse loads, taken as 1.25 for plates welded at 90o to each other.
To suit design needs, the user can change values of Fillet Weld thicknesses in the left column to any
desired values.
Butt Welds
The strength of full or partial penetration butt welds is taken as 0.6 py in shear and py in tension or
compression, where py is the design strength of the parent metal.
Depending upon the weld thickness, the parent metal strength for steel grades S275, S355 and S460
varies and is obtained from Table 9 of BS5950-1: 2000.
For Grade S275 and metal thickness up to 16, 40, 63, 80, 100 and 150 mm, py is 275, 265, 255, 245,
235 and 225 N/mm2 respectively.
