Note: 1) The eccentricity of the fasteners at the end connections and the effects of the spacing and edge

distances of the bolts may be taken into account by analyss. The design resistance of the net section is in this case checked directly.

2) The bolt end distances are in the connections often the same (e.g. 50 + 70 + 50). In this case the bearing resistance is checked for both sides of the connection together, e.g. just for the sum of the thinner plates acting in one direction.

7 Bolted Slip Resistant Connection Evaluate resistance of the bolted connection of a tie, shown in Fig. 7.1, with the slip on the ultimate limit state. The steel is Grade S235. The bolts M 20, Grade 10.9, are preloaded (the bolt net area As = 245 mm2) in holes ∅ 22. The material partial safety factors are γ γMs ult. =1,30 , M 2 =1,30 and γ Mb =1 45, .

The internal forces in the connection has to follow the material distribution in the connecting elements. Hence the splices on the beam flanges are designed of the area of the beam flanges and the beam splices on the beam web of the area of the beam web. The splices on the beam flanges from both sides bring the most smooth transfer, see Notes below. The splices for the hot rolled beams till 500 mm are designed with the splices on one side only to economise the solution in the building design. The distribution of internal forces in joint may follow elastic, elastic-plastic or plastic distribution based on the global analysis of the whole structure, of the connected elements and on economy of design. The splices at the flanges carry the forces based on the bending moment (the plastic internal force distribution in the connection)

1/ The distribution of the internal forces in joint may be based on elastic, elastic-plastic or plastic distribution. The plastic distribution is presented. For the elastic distribution is the bending moment transferred by the flange cover plate as well as by the web cover plates. The bolts forces in the flanges are taken the part of the bending moment. This bending moment may be estimated by reducing the bending moments by the second moment of inertia of the flages
