Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked to design bolted connections for a steel frame with varying loads. Outline how you would determine the bolt types and arrangements required for the design.
💡 Hint: Think about different types of loads and how they might affect your design.
Given a connection subjected to an axial load of 150 kN in a beam-to-column junction, calculate the number of bolts required assuming each can handle 25 kN in shear.
💡 Hint: Consider how safety factors are applied in structural designs.
