Thecoefficient α d inequation9.16isassociatedwithplatetear-outbyshearing
in the direction of load transfer, commonly when the bolt is close to the end of a
plate,asshowninFigure9.19b.Inthiscase,EC3-1-8requires α d tobedetermined
from
α d = e 1

(9.17)
for an end bolt, or from
α d = p 1

forinternalboltsiftheseboltsarecloselyspaced,inwhich d 0 istheboltdiameter
and the dimensions e 1 and p 1 are shown in Figure 2.7.
The coefficient k 1 in equation 9.16 is associated with tension fracture perpen-
dicular to the direction of load transfer, commonly when the bolt is close to an
edge, as shown in Figure 9.19e. Hence, EC3-1-8 uses
k 1 = 2.8 e 2 / d 0 1.7 2.5
(9.19)
if the bolts are at the edge of the plate, and
k 1 = 1.4 p 2 / d 0 1.7 2.5
(9.20)
forinternalbolts,where p 2 isthedistancebetweenrowsofholes( p inFigure2.5).
