PROJECT: Spreder Beam 12 T f/ Floating Hose

SUBJECT: Bolted connection SHEET 2 of 3

Number of bolts required = 4.78 bolts

Try = 8 bolts

Minimum spacing : the distance between centers of standard, oversized, or slotted holes, shall
not be less than 3d (from AISC J3.3).
s =3 d= 2.25 in
say, s = 3 in

Minimum edge distance : (from AISC table J3.4)

Le = 1.5 in

Ag req. ³ 2.34568 in2

U= 0.85 (from commentary to the AISC specification)
Ae req. ³ 1.74713 in2
An req. ³ 2.05544 in2

minimum radius of gyration:

r min = 1.532 in

TRY 2L5x3x1/2LLBB
bolts placed in the long leg at the usual gage distance (check LRFD page 10-10)
usual gage = 3 in
Ag = #N/A in2 > 2.35 in2 #N/A
r = #N/A in > 1.53 in #N/A
t = #N/A in
An = #N/A in2 > 2.05544 in2 #N/A
x = 0.736 in
U = 0.96495 < 0.9 use U = 0.9
Ae = #N/A in 2
> 1.74713 in 2
#N/A
Check Bearing strength:

for bearing strength computation use a hole diameter of h = 13/16 in

f Rn = f (1.2 Lc t Fu) if Lc < 2 d
f Rn = f (2.4 d t Fu) if Lc > 2 d

For the hole nearest the edge of the member :

Lc = 1.09 in
2d= 1.50 in f Rn = #N/A kips/bolt
For the other holes:
Lc = 2.19 in
2d= 1.50 in f Rn = #N/A kips/bolt
Total bearing strength of the connection :

f Rn = #N/A kips > 76 kips #N/A
