Preliminary Investigation of the Loads Carried by Individual Bolts in Bolted Joints

Manford B. Tate, Rosenfeld Samuel J

Abstract

Report presenting a general solution for the determination of loads carried by individual bolts in symmetrical butt joints. Testing was conducted on test specimens made of 24S-T aluminum-alloy plates fastened by two or three 1/4-inch alloy-steel bolts with the bolts in a single line in line with the applied load. Results regarding the determination of bolt loads and deflections from test data, curves of joint load against bolt load, and curves of bolt load against deflection are provided.
