Two worksheets give Fillet Weld Capacities for Steel Grades S275, S355 and S460, using E35, E42 and
E50 Electrodes.
One worksheet uses the Simple Method as per clause 6.8.7.2 and the other uses the Directional
Method as per Clause 6.8.7.3 of the code.
Gives Capacities for Full Penetration Butt Welds. The capacities calculated are Shear and
Tension/Compression strength for Steel Grades S275, S355 and S460using E35, E42 and E50
electrodes respectively.
Introduction
Fasten5950 is a Template for finding the Capacities of Bolts and Welds to BS5950-1: 2000. The bolts
can be Ordinary, Countersunk or High Strength Friction Grip Bolts. Welds can be Fillet or Full
Penetration Butt Welds.
To load Fasten5950 on to your computer, copy this file into Microsoft Office folder for its Templates.
Generally the path to this folder in Excel 97 is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates
If you are using Excel 2000, the path to this folder is:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
If you receive an Excel Warning about running Macros and are prompted for whether to load them,
answer YES to Load and Enable Macros. Fasten5950 incorporates VB Macros and to allow your
computer to use them is vital for its operation.
Using Fasten5950
Fasten5950 is used as a desktop reference. A designer can have it running as an Excel file and refer to it
for finding capacities and detailing information for bolts and welds as and when required.
When use of a desktop computer is not available, Fasten5950 can also be used to print tables of bolt and
weld capacities on paper. When used in this way, for example, a total of 216 tables can be produced for
Non-preloaded bolts and 384 tables for the preloaded HSFG bolts.
The initial default options for Non-preloaded bolts are: Hexagon Head Bolts, Shear Plane in Threads,
Bolt Grade 8.8, Connected Ply Grade: S275(43), Clearance Bolt Holes.
The initial default options for HSFG Bolts are: Hexagon Head Bolts, General Grade, 0.5 Slip Factor,
Non-slip under factored loads design criteria, Clearance Holes and Connected Ply Grade S275 (43).
Non-preloaded Bolts:
Grades 4.6, 6.8, 8.8, 10.9, HSFG General Grade & HSFG Higher Grade
The bearing capacity is taken as lesser of the bolt bearing capacity Pbb and the connected ply bearing
capacity Pbs. The bolt bearing capacity Pbb is calculated as:
Pbb = d tp pbb
where
d is the nominal bolt diameter,
tp is the thickness of the connected ply.
pbb is bearing strength of the bolt obtained from Table 31 of the code.
When the bolts are countersunk, tp is taken as the ply thickness minus half the depth of countersinking.
The depth of countersinking is taken as half the bolt diameter based on a 90o countersink.
When the Edge Distance e of a bolt hole in the direction of its bearing load is not less than 2d, the
bearing capacity of the connected ply Pbs is calculated as:
Pbs = kbs d tp pbs
where
kbs is a coefficient to allow for hole type and taken as:
- for bolts in standard clearance holes kbs = 1
- for bolts in oversize & short slotted holes kbs = 0.7
- for bolts in long slotted and kidney-shaped holes kbs = 0.5
pbs is the bearing strength of the connected parts obtained from Table 32.
When the end distance e of the bolt hole in a ply is less than 2d, the bearing capacity of the connected
ply Pbs is calculated as:
Pbs = 0.5 kbs e tp pbs
where
e is the end distance of the bolt hole.
For any bolt diameter, the Combined Tension and Shear Capacity is calculated by typing a value in the
cell for Applied Tension in its row. When subjected to both Tension and Shear, the combination shear
capacity Fs as per clause 6.3.4.4 is given by:
Fs = (1.4 - Ft/Pnom) Ps <= Ps for bolts designed by using the simple method
where Ft is the applied external tension and Pnom , Ps are as defined above.
U is the Slip Factor in the range 0.1 to 0.6, depending upon the condition of faying surfaces. Table 35
of the code gives them as 0.5 for Class A, 0.4 for Class B, 0.3 for Class C and 0.2 for Class D surface.
HSFG worksheet provides 4 radio buttons to select a Slip Factor value from 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.2. To
use a different value in the range 0.1 to 0.6, the user can change the 4th radio button cell to any desired
value.
In connections designed as Non-slip in service, capacity after slipping is calculated as per clause 6.4.4.
When the Edge Distance e of a bolt hole in the direction of its bearing load is not less than 3d, the slip
capacity should not exceed the bearing capacity Pbg given by:
When the end distance e of the bolt hole in a ply is less than 3d, the slip capacity should not exceed the
bearing capacity of the connected ply Pbs is given by:
Pbs = 0.5 kbs e tp pbs
The Tension capacity of HSFG Bolts Ptot is calculated as implicit in clause 6.4.5 of BS5950:
Ptot = 1.1 Po for non-slip in service (but Ptot <= At pt)
Ptot = 0.9 Po for non-slip under factored load
where
Po is the minimum shank tension as specified in BS4604, At is the tensile stress area and pt is the design
tension strength of bolts from Table 34 of BS5950-1:2000.
This Capacity of General Grade Bolts is calculated by typing a Tension load value in the cell for a bolt
diameter in the Applied Tension column.
Higher Grade HSFG Bolts cannot be subjected to External Tension. BS4604: Part 2 restricts their use to
joints subject ONLY TO SHEAR. Combined Tension and Shear analysis for such bolts is therefore not
permitted by this Template.
When subjected to combined Tension and Shear, the shear capacity Fs for General Grade Bolts is given
by:
Fs = (1 - Ftot / 1.1Po) PsL <= PsL for connections non-slip in service
Fs = (1 - Ftot / 0.9Po) PsL <= PsL for connections non-slip under service loads
where
Ftot is the applied external tension and Po, PsL are as defined in the above.
Fillet Welds
The strength of fillet welds is based on their throat thickness. By assuming that connected angle of the
welded plates is 90 degrees, the throat thickness is taken as 0.7 times the weld size or leg length.
Using the Simple Method as per clause 6.8.7.2 , the weld capacity is taken as:
Pw = 0.7 pw leg length /1000 kN/mm
Using the Directional Method as per clause 6.8.7.3 , the weld capacities are taken as:
PL = 0.7 pw leg length /1000 kN/mm as Longitudinal Shear Capacity
PT = K PL kN/mm as Transverse Shear Capacity
where
pw is design strength in N/mm2 from Table 37 of the code for Electrodes Classes 35, 42 and 50
K is the enhancement factor for transverse loads, taken as 1.25 for plates welded at 90o to each other.
To suit design needs, the user can change values of Fillet Weld thicknesses in the left column to any
desired values.
Butt Welds
The strength of full or partial penetration butt welds is taken as 0.6 py in shear and py in tension or
compression, where py is the design strength of the parent metal.
Depending upon the weld thickness, the parent metal strength for steel grades S275, S355 and S460
varies and is obtained from Table 9 of BS5950-1: 2000.
For Grade S275 and metal thickness up to 16, 40, 63, 80, 100 and 150 mm, py is 275, 265, 255, 245,
235 and 225 N/mm2 respectively.
For Grade S355 and metal thickness up to 16, 40, 63, 80, 100 and 150 mm, py is 355, 345, 335, 325,
315, and 295 N/mm2 respectively.
For Grade S460 and metal thickness up to 16, 40, 63. 80 and 100 mm, py is 460, 440, 430, 410 and 400
N/mm2 respectively.
To suit design needs, the user can change values of Butt Weld thicknesses in the left column to any
desired values.
