Eccentrically Loaded Bolted and Welded

Connec ons
SITUATION 1. The figure shows an Eccentrically SITUATION 2. The figure shows an Eccentrically
Loaded Bracket. Loaded Bracket.
M20, Fnv = 457 MPa. Throat thickness is 8 mm, E70xx.

Take Fw = 0.6FEXX

Determine the following: Determine the following:

a. Design shear strength of the bolt (KN)
b. Allowable shear strength of the bolt (KN)
If theta is 20 degrees, PDL = 10KN, PLL = 8KN, using
LRFD, determine the following:
c. Force at the most cri cal bolt.
d. Force at the least cri cal bolt.
e. Maximum addi onal live load the
assembly can carry due to shear strength
of the bolt.
If theta on figure is 30 degrees, PDL = 10KN, PLL
= 8KN, using ASD and kaltek (show syntax on
calculator as your solu on), determine the
following:
a. Force per mm at the most cri cal weld if
P is 100KN. (manual)
b. Force per mm at the most cri cal weld if
P is 100KN. (kaltek)
c. Weld stress at the most cri cal weld if P
is 1KN. =)))
d. Ul mate load P that the assembly can
carry if DL = 50KN.
e. Allowable load P that the assembly can
carry if LL = 50KN.

f. Force at the most cri cal bolt.

g. Force at the least cri cal bolt.
h. Maximum addi onal live load the
assembly can carry due to shear strength
of the bolt.
