Title APPENDIX A Worked Example: Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections 17 of 24 5 - 70 The moment f M is divided out the bolts according to the distance i r between the centre of bolts b i and the centre of gravity of the group of bolts   6 1 2 i i f M,bi r M r F This shear force M,bi F resolved in the basis   h v , gives:   6 1 2 i i f M,bi,h r M v F a horizontal component for the bolt b i .   6 1 2 i i f v' M,bi, r M h F a vertical component for the bolt b i . With i h and i v coordinates of centre of bolt b i . In the end, for each bolt: M,bi,h N,bi,h V,bi,h,Ed F F F   Horizontal design shear force M,bi,v V,bi,v V,bi,v,Ed F F F   Vertical design shear force 2 , , , 2 , , , V,bi,Ed V bi v Ed V bi h Ed F F F   Resulting design shear force The Figure A.10 shows the distribution of the internal forces.
