    The document discusses structural steel connections using bolts. It explains that bolts in single shear connections have a tendency to shear off along a single contact plane between connected materials, while bolts in double shear connections offer resistance along two planes. It also notes that the strength of different bolt types is provided in tables based on single or double shear loading and that bearing failure can occur if the material thickness around a bolt hole is insufficient to prevent hole elongation.

    STRUCTURAL STEEL DESIGN

    Dr. Ammar A. Ali

    In most structural connections the bolt is required to prevent the movement of the
    connected material in a direction perpendicular to the length of the bolt as shown in Fig.
    2.13.

    Fig. 2.13 Bolt in single shear.

    In the connection shown, the bolt has a tendency to shear off along the single contact plane
    of the two plates. Since the bolt is resisting the tendency of the plates to slide past one
    another along the contact surface and is being sheared on a single plane, the bolt is said to
    be in single shear.

    In a butt connection, there are two contact planes. Therefore, the bolt is offering resistance
    along two planes and is said to be in double shear.

    Table I-D from the ASD manual, Part 4, provides bolt strengths.

    Three types of bolts are given: A307, A325, and A409. These designations are ASTM
    material designations. The notations under “loading” refer to single shear (S) and double
    shear (D).

    In addition to considering shear failure in the bolts, the members being connected where
    they bear on the bolts must be considered. If a material is overly thin, the hole will
    elangoate into an oval shape and the connection will be said to have failed in bearing as
    shown in Fig. 3.14.
