Design of Bolted Connections | Concept and Formulas with Example
Bolted connections are a type of structural joint used to join two or more structural
components in a steel structure using bolts. Bolts are a form of threaded fasteners which has
a male thread and preformed matching female thread, such as nuts. Concepts of bolt value,
the strength of bolted joints are important to design a bolted connection, and the same are
discussed further.
Types of Joints in Bolted Connections
There are two predominant types of joints in a bolted connection namely, lap joint and butt
joint. There are sub-types within these two types i.e., eccentric connections, pure moment
connections etc. but are beyond the scope of this blog. The nature of the joints and sub-types
within these joints are explained as follows.
1. Lap Joint
In a lap joint, the main members to be connected are placed over one another to form an
overlap between the members, and then the bolting is done on the overlapped portion.
Because of the very nature of the connection, an eccentricity is produced.
Lap joint
2. Butt Joint
In this type of joint, a cover plate is used to join two members. Based on the number of cover
plates there are two types of butt joint namely, single cover butt joint and double cover butt
joint.
DOS-II MODULE-I
Both shear and bearing failure of the plate can be avoided by providing sufficient centre to
centre distances between the bolts as mentioned in section 10 of IS 800: 2007.
6. Tension Failure of Plate
Due to a reduction in the net area (i.e., due to bolt holes) of the plate along the bolt line, the
tensile strength of the plate will be lesser than the actual value at this section. Because of
this, the plate might fail under tension. Therefore, it becomes important to calculate the least
net area among different bolt lines to find the least tensile strength of the plate and check it
for safety for the applied load.
• Edge distance (e) - the distance between the edge of the plate to the nearest
centerline of a bolt hole in the perpendicular direction to the applied load
• End distance (e') - the distance between the end of the plate to the nearest
centerline of the bolt hole in the direction of the applied load
For detailed specifications regarding all the above-mentioned terms refer to IS 800: 2007,
Section 10 Connections.
