Prying Action for Slip-Critical Connections with Bolt Tension and Shear Interaction

摘要

Bolted connections subjected to both shear and tension must be checked for prying action and the interaction between tension, and shear must be considered. The 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-10) presents interaction equations both for bearing connections and for slip-critical connections. This paper demonstrates two methods to account for tension and shear interaction when prying action must be considered in slip-critical connections. The prying action procedure outlined in the 14th edition Steel Construction Manual is assumed.
