How To Calculate Shear Forces On Bolts Connection Joints

How to determine shear forces on bolts?

Here's below shows one of the simple shear forces calculation of bolts connection joints when received Mxx = 46.223 kN/M of maximum bending moment.

Mxx =     M dead  +  M live   
        =   16.147  +  30.076
        =     46.223 kN/M

Flexible Pavement Design

Flexible Pavement Design

Design Procedure of IRC

Design Approach and Criteria - The following three types of pavement distress resulting from repeated application of traffic are considered:

(i) Horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous layer
(ii) Vertical compressive strain at the top of the subgrade
(iii) Pavement deformation with in the bituminous layer

The deformation with in the bituminous layer is assumed to be controlled by meeting the mix design requirements

Failure Criteria

1. Fatigue Cracking

• Is due to the build up of tensile strain at the bottom of Asphaltic Concrete Layer
• Pavement is considered failed if 20% of the surface has cracked

2. Rutting Failure

• Is due to the build up of excessive compressive strain at the top of subgrade layer
• Pavement is considered failed if it exhibits a rut depth of 20 mm.

IRC Design Approach and Criteria

The pavement has been modeled as a three layer structure and stresses and strains at

critical locations have been computed using the linear elastic structural model FPAVE.
