Calculate Bearing Strength at Bolt Hole:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
 
(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)
 
AISC J3.10:
The following is for calculating bearing strength at a bolt hole in a connection.
 
   - standard, oversized, and short-slotted holes, independent of the direction of loading, or a long-slotted hole with the slot parallel to the direction of the bearing force; when deformation of the hole at the service load is a design consideration.
 - standard, oversized, and short-slotted holes, independent of the direction of loading, or a long-slotted hole with the slot parallel to the direction of the bearing force; when deformation of the hole at the service load is not a design consideration.
   - long-slotted holes with the slot perpendicular to the direction of force.
Nominal bolt diameter (d - in or mm)
Thickness of connected material (t - in or mm)
Clear distance between holes or from edge (Lc - in or mm)
Minimum tensile stress of connected material (Fu - ksi or MPa)
