The connection consists of (2) 5/8″ thick tension plates connected to (2) 1/4″ thick splice plates. The material type of both the tension and splice plates is A36 steel. The center to center distance of bolts in the longitudinal direction, s, is equal to 3″. The distance from the centerline of the edge bolts to the edge of the splice plate in the longitudinal direction, L e, is equal to 1.5″. A dead load of 30 kips and live load of 20 kips are applied to the tension plates. The first step is to calculate the nominal shear strength of a single bolt which is equal to the number of shear planes in the connection times the nominal bolt area, A b, times the nominal shear stress in bearing type connections, F nv. The nominal bolt area can either be calculated using the formula of pi times the bolt diameter squared divided by 4 or obtained directly from Table 7-1 in the AISC manual The nominal shear stress is found in AISC Table J3.2.

The second step is to calculate the bearing strength of the connection. To calculate the bearing strength, we first determine “h” which is equal to the bolt diameter plus 1/16″. Next we consider L c for the edge bolts which is equal to L e minus “h” divided by 2.
