Boked Joints chapter 3 Chapter 13: Bolted Joints ‘The data on bolts and bolted joints reproduced here was taken fromthe latest Ajax Fastener handbook and catalogue on bolted products available st the time ofthis publication. Ther are many types of screwed fasteners produced by Ajex apart from conventionalhexagon head bolts and nuts, These include + set screws + cup head square neck bolts ‘+ hexagon bead coach sews + cupovalfshbols + four peg elevator hols Most ofthe fasteners produced by Ajax are avaiable in both impesial inch) and metric sizes “Metric thread forms are ISO metic (coarse ict with ine pitch being availabe inselecte sizes Iimpriltread formsinchude UNF Uniti National Fine), UNC (Uniged Nasional ere) and [BSW GBrissh Standard Whitworth), Inthis ta maal data for hexagon head ISO metric bolts ants onyintwo property grades, namely grade 4.6 (commercial grade) and grade 8.8 (precision high-ensile grade) are reproduced, mn addition to the data and design methods reproduced from the Ajax handbook, several ‘examples ar included lustating th selection method for bot joints.

Notes ‘+ Thedesignprocedure used with shea loudsin hese examples ignores the effect offrition ‘beween the mating faces o that inthe event that the nut becomes loose, he bolt wil til support the design shear load, Ineffec, riction provides an aditional safety factor with shear lade ‘+ Whenseverabols sare the shesrload ts assumed thatthe shear loadis evenly isrbted ‘between alco bolts. In practice, this will nore the ease unles fied precision bolts a> used. However, experimentsshow tat under load, bots deform sothat eventually, thelosd {ends tobe spread out amongst them. Also because the effect ofiction hasbeen ignored, it appears unduly conservative to assume that only afew of the bolts ake the shear load.
