Combined Tension and Shear in a Slip Critical Connection
Combined tension and shear in a slip critical connection must be considered when bolted connections
subjected to both shear and
tension must be checked for prying action, the interaction
between tension and shear must be considered. The
AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC,
2010) presents interaction equations for bearing connections
and for slip-critical connections. However, little guidance for
applying these equations to prying action analysis has been
available. This paper will demonstrate how these interaction
equations may be used in the prying action analysis presented
in the 14th edition Steel Construction Manual (AISC,
2011) by comparing two methods. This paper is formulated
in terms of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), but
the principles are similar for Allowable Strength Design
(ASD).
