The tensile load P is assumed to be applied parallel to and coinci- dent with the longitudinal axis of the member. The bolt holes are located on gage fines that are also parallel to the longitudinal axis. The dimension g between the gage lines is called the gage. The dimension s parallel to the gage line and taken between centers of bolt holes is called the pitch (or the bolt spacing). The distance Between bolts is a straight line distance between any two bolts. The edge distance ig the perpendicular distance from the center of a hole to the nearest edge.
