Numerical modelling of double shear
bolted connection under monotonic loading
This finding suggests that end distance of 5d would be acceptable as the minimum end distance of LVL
bolted connection.
A total of 98
bolted connection specimens (i.e., angle and I-shape-3 specimens: three for each test variation, I-shape-1, and I-shape-2 specimens: four for each test variation) were prepared by drilling holes with different bolt-hole clearances.
The problem was traced to a
bolted connection where the cable passes through the front bulkhead.
If the cost of welding remains below 0.97 times the cost of the
bolted connection, the welded connection is the recommended one.
Therefore, in friction
bolted connection, the beam needs higher axial force to move upward when it is subjected to temperature increase.
The FDS Group said the academy would provide accredited and awareness training courses in the processes workers have to follow to achieve and maintain a leak-free
bolted connection.
Stress concentration factors for the threads and bolt head fillet in a
bolted connection have been suggested by Lehnhoff and Bunyard [5] using linear finite element analysis.
Thus, for example,
bolted connections on high-pressure pipework in a chemical process plant might be denoted as a 'high' consequence asset-if there was a fault with the
bolted connection, the consequences could be serious, with the potential for substantial damage and injury or loss of life and the possible additional hazard of severe environmental impact.
