9.3.2 Bolt Strength Limit States

The document discusses bolt strength limit states for a bolt in shear. It provides an equation to calculate the factored shear strength (Vf) of a bolt based on factors like the minimum tensile strength of the bolt material (fuf), number of shear planes, and bolt geometry. It then applies this equation to an example bolt, finding its factored shear strength to be 2573 kN, which satisfies the requirement that Vf be less than or equal to 2058 kN.

nn = Number of shear planes with threads intercepting th
Ac = Minor diameter area of the bolt as defined in AS 127
