Preloaded or friction bolts are a common way to connect steel members. Connections with preloaded bolts have many design advantages - higher stiffness, higher slip resistance, better fatigue performance, and more. On the other hand, preloading brings extra demands for safety and code-compliance.
Tijdens het webinar leert u
Join our Summer Series webinar and find out how IDEA StatiCa deals with the design of connections with preloaded bolts of varying topologies while keeping you in on the safe side defined by the Eurocode.
Example 1 – splice connection design
We will model, load, and check a connection from the "B" category of bolted connections – slip resistance at the serviceability state. We will also create a full design report for this connection.
Example 2 – code-check of a bracing joint
In this example, we will create a connection according to the rules for the "C" category of bolted connections – slip resistance at the ultimate state. Then we will code-check the connection and interpret the results generated in the report.
