The design resistance of a group of fasteners may be taken as the sum of the design bearing resistances F b,Rd of the individual fasteners provided that the shear resistance F v,Rd of each individual fastener is greater than or equal to the design bearing resistance F b,Rd. Otherwise the design resistance of a group of fasteners should be taken as the number of fasteners multiplied by the smallest design resistance of any of the individual fasteners as specified in EN1993-1-8 § 3.7(1). For this case elastic linear distribution of internal forces should be used as specified in EN1993-1-8 §3.12. A is the appropriate area for shear resistance. When the shear plane passes through the threaded part of the bolt A is equal to the tensile stress area of the bolt A s. When the shear plane passes through the unthreaded part of the bolt A is equal to the gross cross-sectional area of the bolt A g. The bearing resistance of the bolt F b,Rd should be verified against the applied shear load F v,Ed in accordance with EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4:

where e 2 is the distance between the center of the edge bolt and the end of the plate measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction, p 2 is the distance between the centers of neighboring bolts measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction, and d 0 is the diameter of the bolt hole. The yield strength f yb and the ultimate tensile strength f ub for bolt classes 4.6, 4.8, 5.6, 5.8, 6.8, 8.8, and 10.9 are given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.1.The design shear resistance of bolts F v,Rd as given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 is only valid when the bolt is used in holes with nominal clearance not exceeding the values given in the standard EN 1090-2 'Requirements for the execution of steel structures', as specified in EN1993-1-8 §3.6.1(4). The second number corresponds to the ratio of yield strength to ultimate strength e.g. 60% for class 4.6 leading to a yield strength of 0.60 × 400 MPa = 240 MPa. By approximately ignoring the corner rounding for a perfect hexagon the relation of the distance across points s' and the distance across flats s is s' = s / cos(30°) = 1.1547⋅ s. where e 1 is the distance between the center of the end bolt and the end of the plate measured parallel to the load direction, p 1 is the distance between the centers of neighboring bolts measured parallel to the load direction, and d 0 is the diameter of the bolt hole.

For preloaded bolted connections which are slip-resistant at the Serviceability Limit State or the Ultimate Limit State the corresponding shear load F v,Ed should not exceed the design slip resistance as specified in EN1993-1-8 §3.9 and Table 3.2. Only bolt assemblies of classes 8.8 and 10.9 may be used as preloaded bolts. Minimum and maximum spacing p 1, p 2 and edge distances e 1, e 2 for bolts are given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.3. The minimum values are: e 1≥ 1.2 d 0, e 2≥ 1.2 d 0, p 1≥ 2.2 d 0, p 2≥ 2.4 d 0, where d 0 is the diameter of the hole, e 1, p 1 are measured parallel to the load transfer direction and e 2, p 2 are measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction. The tensile stress area A s corresponds to the reduced cross-sectional area inside the threaded part of the bolt.For typical coarse pitch thread bolts the standard sizes are: M3, M3.5, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M33, M36, M39. The resulting hole diameter d 0 for each type of hole (normal, oversize, short slotted, long slotted) is determined by adding the nominal clearance given in EN 1090-2 Table 11 to the nominal diameter d of the bolt.

In general the stress area of fine pitch thread bolts passing through the threaded part is larger as compared to the coarse pitch thread bolts. According to EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 the bearing resistance F b,Rd of the bolt is not affected by the spacing p 1, p 2 and edge distances e 1, e 2 provided that the following limits are observed: e 1≥ 3.0 d 0, e 2≥ 1.5 d 0, p 1≥ 3.75 d 0, p 2≥ 3.0 d 0. The interaction between shear and tension is expressed in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 according to the following linear relation:

Geometric properties of metric bolts

For standard coarse pitch thread and fine pitch thread bolts the nominal stress area A s is provided in ISO 898-1 Tables 4 to 7. Coarse threads are those with larger pitch (fewer threads per axial distance), and fine threads are those with smaller pitch (more threads per axial distance). Coarse threads have a larger threadform relative to screw diameter, whereas fine threads have a smaller threadform relative to screw diameter. The punching resistance of the bolt B p,Rd should be verified against the applied tensile load F t,Ed in accordance with EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4: The smallest or largest pitch diameter that fits onto a screw or into a nut, including all of the form deviations such as lead, thread angle, taper, and roundness. Functional diameter is a measure of the ability to assemble the thread.
