bolt bearing strength, aisi-2001 vs.aisc-13th
with aisi code, when calculating the bearing strength the inside sheet of double shear connection will have a higher coefficient (1.33) than single shear and outside sheets of double shear connection (1.0 with washer or 0.75 without washer) giving a higher bearing strength for the inside sheet of double shear connection. but with aisc-13th, i don't see any similar formulation. it seems no matter it's single shear or inside sheet of double shear, the bearing strength will be the same as it is listed in table 7-5 and 7-6 of aisc-13th. am i missing anything in aisc-13th?
thanks a lot!
i believe you just take care of what you call sheets by using the appropriate thickness (t) in the aisc equations. double shear just means you have two "sheets" of a certain thickness.
just add up the thickness that is resisting bearing.
