Non-dimensional slenderness T = (Equ. 6.52), where Ncr = Ncr,TF but Ncr < Ncr,T.
N cr
Elastic critical torsional-flexural buckling force is Ncr,TF = N cr,T , when the shear centre and centroid
of the gross cross-section coincide. This mode of instability is relevant to centrally loaded channels
where the centroid and shear centre do not coincide; consult [1] for appropriate formula.
1 2E IW
Elastic critical torsional buckling force is Ncr,T = G IT + , where io2 = i y2 + i z2 when the
io2 L2cr,T

shear centre and centroid of the gross cross-section coincide. Lcr,T is the buckling length of the
member for torsional buckling.

cross-sections. The reduction factor for lateral-torsional buckling (ltb) LT can be determined using
Wy f y
6.3.2.2 or 6.3.2.3. For both cases the non-dimensional slenderness for ltb is LT = , where

Methods to determine LT .
Simplified method, not requiring calculation of Mcr. For straight segments of hot-rolled doubly
symmetrical I-sections with lateral restraint to the compression flange at both ends of the segment
considered and with no destabilising loads, LT may be conservatively taken as
S235 S275 S355

L L L
LT = LT = LT =
104 i z 96 i z 85 i z
Note: L here is the distance between points of restraint of the compression flange.
By way of the calculation of the value to Mcr.. The elastic critical moment for ltb of a beam of uniform
symmetrical cross-section with equal flanges, under standard conditions of restraint at each end,
loaded through the shear centre and subjected to uniform moment is

where C1 is the factor depending on the type of moment distribution and support condition.
C2 is a factor to account for the position of the load vertically with respect to the shear centre (i.e.,
the centroid axis) and zg is the distance from the shear centre to the point of load application.
g is the correction factor for the increase resistance caused by increase curvature of the beam prior
Iz
to buckling ( g = 1/ 1 ).
Iy
k is a factor for the fixity of the end rotation about the minor z-z axis, and varies from 1.0 for no fixity
to 0.5 for full fixity, and kw is a factor for the fixity of the end warping, and varies from 1.0 for no fixity
to 0.5 for full fixity. Remember that Lcr = kL.
Removing the effects due to curvature and position of load application, the formula for a uniform
doubly symmetrical cross-sections, loaded through the shear centre at the level of the centroid

Fv,Rd = , where A is tensile stress area, and is As where the shear plane passes
M2
through the threaded portion of the bolt, or is the gross cross-section area A where the shear plane
passes through the unthreaded portion of the bolt. v = 0.6 for class 8.8 and 0.5 for class 10.9 (but
0.5 where shear plane passes through the unthreaded portion of the bolt). This resistance should
only be used when bolts are used in holes with nominal clearance (2 mm for bolt sizes to M24).

For bearing, the design resistance is given by Fb, Rd = , where b is the smallest of

With reference to the figure that, for connections with more than one row of bolts, gives the
definitions to p1, e1, p2, and e2 we have:
p1 e1

in the direction of the load transfer, d = for end bolts and d = 1 0.25 for inner bolts,
3d 0 3d 0
and

For tension, the design resistance is Fb, Rd = , where As is tensile stress area of bolt and k2

is 0.9, except for counter sunk bolts, where it is 0.63.

For combined shear and tension the design resistance is given by + 1.0 .

3.6.1(10) In single lap joints with only one bolt row, the bolts should be provided with washers (hardened)
under both head and nut. The design bearing resistance for each bolt should be limited to

3.10.2 Block tearing
For a symmetric bolt group subject to concentric loading the design block tearing resistance is
given by
Veff,1,Rd =
f u Ant

(1 / 3 ) f y Anv
(Equ. 3.9), where Ant is the net area subject to tension and
M2 M0
Anv is the net area subject to shear.
For a bolt group subject to eccentric loading the design block shear tearing resistance is given
by
Veff,2,Rd =
0.5 f u Ant
+
(1 / 3 ) f y Anv
(Equ. 3.10).

3.5(1) Table 3.3 states that for bolting the minimum end (e1) and edge distances (e2) should be 1.2do. The
minimum spacing is to be 2.2do.
