Block Shear PDF

This document provides an overview of a lecture on principles of steel design. It discusses bolted connections for tension members, designing tension members, and calculating block shear strength. The key topics covered are the types of failure for bolted connections, computing edge distance and minimum spacing, and designing tension members. It also examines critical sections for block shear, including bolted angles, bolted shapes, bolted plates, and staggered bolted connections. An example problem is provided on calculating block shear strength for a slip-critical tension connection.

PRINCIPLES OF STEEL DESIGN

Instructor:
Engr. Alvin N. Deliro
Topics:
❑ Bolted Connection for Tension
Members
❑ Design of Tension Members
Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
At the end of the topic, the students are expected to:
1. know the types of failure for bolted connections
2. compute the edge distance and minimum spacing
3. know how to design tension members
BLOCK SHEAR
Not all the time that the allowable tensile load is always controlled
by 0.6FyAg or 0.5FuAe (NSCP 2001), or by allowable load on the bolts
or welds with which the joint is connected. Sometimes, it is
controlled by its allowable block shear strength.

In the analysis of block shear strength, the failure of any block shear
may occur along a path involving shear on one plane and tension on
a perpendicular plane.

The allowable block shear strength of a particular member is


determined using the following equation:
T = 0.3 Fu An + 0.5 Fu An (NSCP 2001)
bs v t

where: Anv = net shear area


Ant = net tension area
BLOCK SHEAR
(NSCP 2015):
BLOCK SHEAR
Critical Sections for Block Shear:
1. Bolted Angle

2. Bolted Flange of W Shape

Problem: Given the following data of the slip-critical tension
connection:
