    Sect. J3.] BOLTS AND THREADED PARTS 16.1-131

    4. Minimum Edge Distance


    The distance from the center of a standard hole to an edge of a connected part in any
    direction shall not be less than either the applicable value from Table J3.4 or Table
    J3.4M, or as required in Section J3.10. The distance from the center of an oversized
    or slotted hole to an edge of a connected part shall be not less than that required for
    a standard hole to an edge of a connected part plus the applicable increment, C2, from
    Table J3.5 or Table J3.5M.

    User Note: The edge distances in Tables J3.4 and J3.4M are minimum edge dis-
    tances based on standard fabrication practices and workmanship tolerances. The
    appropriate provisions of Sections J3.10 and J4 must be satisfied.

    5. Maximum Spacing and Edge Distance


    The maximum distance from the center of any bolt to the nearest edge of parts in con-
    tact shall be 12 times the thickness of the connected part under consideration, but
    shall not exceed 6 in. (150 mm). The longitudinal spacing of fasteners between ele-
    ments consisting of a plate and a shape, or two plates, in continuous contact shall be
    as follows:
    (a) For painted members or unpainted members not subject to corrosion, the spacing
    shall not exceed 24 times the thickness of the thinner part or 12 in. (300 mm).
    (b) For unpainted members of weathering steel subject to atmospheric corrosion, the
    spacing shall not exceed 14 times the thickness of the thinner part or 7 in. (180 mm).

    User Note: The dimensions in (a) and (b) do not apply to elements consisting of
    two shapes in continuous contact.

    6. Tensile and Shear Strength of Bolts and Threaded Parts


    The design tensile or shear strength, φRn, and the allowable tensile or shear strength,
    Rn / Ω, of a snug-tightened or pretensioned high-strength bolt or threaded part shall
    be determined according to the limit states of tension rupture and shear rupture as:
    Rn = Fn Ab (J3-1)
    φ = 0.75 (LRFD) Ω = 2.00 (ASD)
    where
    Ab = nominal unthreaded body area of bolt or threaded part, in.2 (mm2)
    Fn = nominal tensile stress, Fnt, or shear stress, Fnv, from Table J3.2, ksi (MPa)
    The required tensile strength shall include any tension resulting from prying action
    produced by deformation of the connected parts.
