Bolt shear resistance to EN 1993-1-8, Table 3.4:

Bolt shear resistance to EN 1993-1-8, Table 3.4:

Fv,Rd = αv fub A / γM2

αv = 0.6 for class 8.8 and 0.5 for class 10.9 when the threads are in the shear plane, and γM2 = 1.25 (recommended). #eurocode3 #bolts

Dr. Sarah Chen:

And bearing often governs before bolt shear in thin plates, so check Fb,Rd as well.

Hannah Moore:

Is it safe to assume the threads are in the shear plane in a typical connection?

Daniel Weber (reply):

It is the safe assumption unless the bolt length and packing are controlled. Using the tensile stress area As covers it.
