Design Bearing Strength (LRFD J3.10) : Where

The document summarizes the design bearing strength calculation for bolt connections according to AISC LRFD section J3.10. It provides three equations to calculate the design bearing strength Rn based on whether deformation at the bolt hole is considered, the type of bolt hole, and the direction of force. The strength is limited to 1.2-1.5 times the tensile strength of the connected material multiplied by the cross-sectional area.

8. Design Bearing Strength (LRFD J3.

10)

The strength of connection in bearing is taken at the bolt holes per AISC
LRFD section J3.10.

Bearing strength calculation applies to both bearing-type and slip-critical


connections.

The design bearing strength at the bolt hole is φRn.


a) The design bearing strength is for service load when deformation is a
design consideration (the hole edge deformation is limited to a maximum of
¼”). The bolt is also in a connection with standard, oversized, and short-
slotted holes independent of the direction of loading, or a long-slotted hole
with the slot parallel to the direction of the bearing force:

Rn = 1.2LctFu ≤ 2.4dtFu (Eq. 3 ; LRFD J3-2a)

b) When deformation at the bolt hole at service load is not a design


consideration (hole ovalization, deformation greater than ¼”)

Rn = 1.5LctFu ≤ 3.0dtFu (Eq. 3 ; LRFD J3-2b)

c) For a bolt in a connection with long-slotted holes with the slot


perpendicular to the direction of force:

Rn = 1.0LctFu ≤ 2.0dtFu (Eq. 4 ; LRFD J3-2c)


Where:
φ = Resistance Factor = 0.75
Fu = minimum tensile strength of the connected material, ksi
Lc = Clear distance in the direction of the force, between the edge of the hole
and the edge of the adjacent hole or edge of the material, in.
d= bolt diameter, in
t = thickness of connected material, in

Another provision is given when deformation at the bolt hole at service load
is not a design consideration (LRFD equation J-3-2b)
