Section 4.9 Example Problems The example problems presented in this section refer to drawings that are located in the drawing files for this chapter. There is also a spreadsheet solution to the example problems. You can click on these links to get the files: Chapter 4: Excel Spreadsheet Solutions Example Problem 4.1: This problem investigates the capacity of bolts in a lap splice connection. Example Problem 4.2: The capacity of bolts in a splice connection is computed in this problem. This problem is a good introduction into typical splice plate bolted connections. Example Problem 4.3: This typical brace to beam connection the bolts experience both tension and shear forces. The capacity is determined for both slip and bearing capacities. Example Problem 4.4: The connection investigated has eccentricity is in the plane of the faying surface. The bolts are all in shear. Example Problem 4.5: This eccentrically loaded bolted connection has eccentricity normal to the faying surface. The bolts have combined shear and tension. |
