    The document summarizes information about bolted and welded connections in steel structures. It discusses: 1) Modern steel structures use bolted or welded connections, or a combination of both. Welding offers advantages over bolting by creating simpler connections. 2) There are two categories of failure for bolted shear connections - failure of the fastener or failure of the connected parts. 3) Requirements for bolt bearing strength, spacing, and edge distances aim to prevent failure from excessive tension, shear, bending or bearing stress in the connected parts.

    Simple Connections

    Bolted & Welded Connections

    Modern steel structures are connected by welding or bolting (either high-strength or “common”
    bolts) or by a combination of both. Until fairly recently, connections were either welded or
    riveted. However, riveted connection design is no longer covered by the AISC Specification,
    but many existing structures contain riveted joints, and the analysis of these connections is
    required for the strength evaluation and rehabilitation of older structures.

    Welding has several advantages over bolting. A welded connection is often simpler in concept
    and requires few, if any, holes (sometimes erection bolts may be required to hold the
    members in position for the welding operation). Connections that are extremely complex with
    fasteners can become very simple when welds are used.

    Bolted Shear Connections

    FAILURE MODES
    There are two broad categories of failure: failure of the fastener and failure of the parts being
    connected. Consider the lap joint shown in Figure 7.4a. Failure of the fastener can be
    assumed to occur as shown. The average shearing stress in this case will be

    Other modes of failure in shear connections involve failure of the parts being connected
    and fall into two general categories.
    1. Failure resulting from excessive tension, shear, or bending in the parts being connected. If a
    tension member is being connected, tension on both the gross area and effective net area must
    be investigated. Block shear must also be examined in beam-to-column connections in which the
    top flange of the beam is coped.
    2. Failure of the connected part because of bearing exerted by the fasteners. If the hole is
    slightly larger than the fastener and the fastener is assumed to be placed loosely in the hole,
    contact between the fastener and the connected part will exist over approximately half the
    circumference of the fastener when a load is applied. This condition is illustrated in Figure 7.5.
    The stress will vary from a maximum at A to zero at B. The bearing load is therefore P = fp d t.

    BEARING STRENGTH, SPACING, AND EDGE-
    DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS
    To prevent excessive elongation of the hole, an upper limit is placed on the bearing load given
    by Equation 7.1. This upper limit is proportional to the projected bearing area times the
    fracture stress, or

    If the threads are in the plane of shear, the reduction of the bolt area is accounted for by
    using 80% of the nominal bolt area. Instead of applying this reduction directly to the bolt
    area, a factor of 0.80 is applied to Fnv. In this way, the nominal bolt area can be used
    whether the threads are in or out of the plane of shear.

    For example, the ultimate tensile strength of a Group A bolt is 120 ksi, so the nominal
    shear strength with the threads not in the shear plane is

    Fnv = 120(0.625)(0.90) = 67.5 ksi

    If the threads are in the shear plane,

    Fnv = 0.8(67.5) = 54 ksi

    16
    Example:
    Determine the strength of the connection shown in Figure 7.11, based on bearing
    and shear, for the following bolts:
    a. A307
    b. Group A, threads in the plane of shear
    c. Group A, threads not in the plane of shear

    SOLUTION: Since the edge distances are the same for both the tension member and the gusset
    plate, the bearing strength of the gusset plate will control because it is thinner than
    the tension member. For bearing strength computation, use a hole diameter of
