Question
Respond to the following 1. (3 pts.) Why does the limit state equation for bolt tear-out capacity incl 2. (3 pts) Briefly explain the reasoning behind employing a minimum bolt spacing requirement. In other words, why do we use "Sain- 2 s ds" 3. 3 pts) Identify three prescribed procedures discussed in class that can be used to properly install a slip-critical bolt. 4. (3 pts.) Why do designers never use only transverse welds when designing welded connections? 5. (3 pts.) What is the purpose of balancing a welded connection?Explanation / Answer
1) Bolt tear out capacity have a factor of safety 1.2 because, bolts fail in brittle nature means there is no indication before failure. Failure is sudden. Hence inorder to get the safe design bolts are designed for factor of safety 1.2.
