Non-preloaded Ordinary Bolts

  • Values in bold are less than the single shear capacity of the bolt.
  • Values in italic are greater than the double shear capacity of the bolt.
  • Bearing values assume standard clearance holes.
  • If oversize or short slotted holes are used, bearing values should be multiplied by 0.7.
  • If long slotted or kidney shaped holes are used, bearing values should be multiplied by 0.5.
  • If appropriate, shear capacity must be reduced for large packings, large grip lengths and long joints.

The tensile stress area (At ) is obtained from standards

The tension capacity of the bolt is given by:

Pnom = 0.8ptAt Nominal

Pt = ptAt Exact

Where:

pt is the tension strength of the bolt.

The shear capacity of the bolt is given by

PS = ps As

where:

ps is the shear strength of the bolt
As is the shear area of the bolt.

In the table, As has been taken as equal to At .

The shear capacity given in the tables must be reduced for large packings, large grip lengths, kidney shaped slots or long joints when applicable.
