Description
This chapter is focused on the verification of component-based finite element method (CBFEM) for the resistance of block shear resistance of bolted connection loaded in shear to the validated research-oriented finite element model (ROFEM) and major analytical models (AM).
Analytical model
There are several analytical models for block shear resistance of bolted connection. The models from codes EN 1993-1-8:2005, EN 1993-1-8:2020, AISC 360-10, and CSA S16-9 are investigated. Furthermore, analytical models by Driver et al. (2005) and Topkaya et al. (2004) are used in comparison.
\[V_{\mathrm{eff,1,Rd}} = \frac{f_\mathrm{u} A_\mathrm{nt}}{\gamma_\mathrm{M2}} + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\frac{f_\mathrm{y} A_\mathrm{nv}}{\gamma_\mathrm{M0}}\]
\[V_{\mathrm{eff,2,Rd}} = 0.5 \cdot \frac{f_\mathrm{u} A_\mathrm{nt}}{\gamma_\mathrm{M2}} + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \frac{f_\mathrm{y} A_\mathrm{nv}}{\gamma_\mathrm{M0}}\]
\[V_{\mathrm{eff,1,Rd}} =\left[A_\mathrm{nt} f_\mathrm{u} + \min \left(\frac{A_\mathrm{gv} \cdot f_\mathrm{y}}{\sqrt{3}} \; ; \;\frac{A_\mathrm{nv} f_\mathrm{u}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\right] \bigg/ \gamma_\mathrm{M2}\]
\[V_{\mathrm{eff,2,Rd}} =\left[0.5 A_\mathrm{nt} f_\mathrm{u} + \min \left(\frac{A_\mathrm{gv} \cdot f_\mathrm{y}}{\sqrt{3}}\;;\;\frac{A_\mathrm{nv} f_\mathrm{u}}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\right] \bigg/ \gamma_\mathrm{M2}\]
\[\varphi R_\mathrm{n} =\varphi \left(0.6 f_u A_\mathrm{nv} + U_\mathrm{bs} f_\mathrm{u} A_\mathrm{nt}\right)\leq 0.6 f_\mathrm{y} A_\mathrm{gv} + U_\mathrm{bs} f_\mathrm{u} A_\mathrm{nt}\]
\[T_\mathrm{r} =\varphi_\mathrm{u} \left[U_t A_\mathrm{nt} f_\mathrm{u} + 0.6 A_\mathrm{gv} \frac{f_\mathrm{y} + f_\mathrm{u}}{2} \right]\]
where:
\(f_\mathrm{y}\) - yield strength
\(f_\mathrm{u}\) - ultimate strength
\(\gamma_{\mathrm{M2}}\), \(\varphi_\mathrm{u}\), \(\varphi\) - safety factors
For \(A_\mathrm{nt}\), \(A_\mathrm{nv}\), \(A_\mathrm{gv}\) see Fig. 5.6.1.
