E. Theory:
1. Ultimate Limit State:
2. Bolts
i. Shear capacity of bolt (double shear) Ps = As*ps
ii. Bearing capacity of bolt Pbb = pbb*d*t
3. Plate
i. Tension capacity of plate Pt = py*Ae
ii. Bearing capacity of plate Pbs = pbs*d*t
0.5e*t*pbs
where
As is the shear area of the bolt
Ae is the effective area of the plate
Ps is the shear strength of the bolt
pbb is the bearing strength of the bolt
pbs is the bearing strength of the plate
for steel grade S275, pbs = 460 MPa
for steel grade S355, pbs = 550 MPa
for steel grade S460, pbs = 670 MPa
py is the design strength of the steel plate
t is the thickness of the plate
d is the diameter of the bolt
e is the end distance of bolt
F. Experimental Procedures
1. Assemble the steel connections as indicate in the diagrams of set-up no.1 to no. 3.
2. For each connection, test the set-up in the Universal Testing Machine until failure.
