Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 4 of 24 5 - 57 Bolted connections data Category of bolted connections Category C Bolt Class Class 10.9 Yield strength f yb = 900 N/mm 2 Ultimate tensile strength f ub = 1000 N/mm 2 For flanges cover plates Nominal bolt diameter d f = 22 mm Hole diameter d 0,f = 24 mm For web cover plates Nominal bolt diameter d w = 18 mm Hole diameter d 0,w = 20 mm EN 1993-1-8 Table 3.1 Partial Factors (Recommended values) Structural steel  M0 = 1,00 Structural steel  M2 = 1,25 Bolts  M2 = 1,25 Bolts  M3 = 1,25 EN 1993-1-1 6.1 NOTE 2B EN 1993-1-8 2.2 NOTE Internal forces For the direction of the internal forces see Figure A.5 M Ed = 1,71 kNm (about y-y axis) V Ed = 1,7 kN N Ed = 1567,4 kN (tension force) Note : the bending moment and the shear force can be ignored. For all that in some phases we take them into account so as to show the concept of the calculation in the presence in such internal forces.
