![]() ![]() Slow down there, Dane, you should qualify that “the bolt will always fail in tensile as opposed to thread stripping” statement. For more information, please see our FAQ on bolt shear strength considerations. B-8) states that shear strength is approximately 60% of the minimum tensile strength. ![]() The Industrial Fastener Institute ( Inch Fastener Standards, 7th ed. Unlike tensile and yield strengths, there are no published shear strength values or requirements for ASTM specifications. It is important to understand that this value is only an estimate. Take that value and multiply it by 60% (0.60). Shear Strengthįirst, find the ultimate tensile strength using the formula above. In other words, a 3/4″ diameter F1554 grade 36 anchor rod will be able to withstand 19,372 pounds force (lbf) without breaking. This is the minimum requirement for F1554 grade 36. This formula will give you the ultimate tensile strength of that size and grade of bolt.Įxample: What is the ultimate tensile strength of a 3/4″ diameter F1554 Grade 36 rod? Take the minimum tensile strength in psi of the ASTM grade, multiplied by the stress area of the diameter. In other words, a 3/4″ diameter F1554 grade 36 anchor rod will be able to withstand 12,024 pounds force (lbf) without yielding. ![]() This formula will give you the ultimate yield strength of that size and grade of bolt.Įxample: What is the ultimate yield strength of a 3/4″ diameter F1554 Grade 36 rod? Take the minimum yield in psi of the ASTM grade (see our Strength Requirements by Grade Chart for this value), multiplied by the stress area of the specific diameter (see our Thread Pitch Chart). Note: the formulas below do not depend on the finish of the fastener. In order to calculate the actual strength values of a given diameter, you would use the following formulas: This is helpful when analyzing what grade of material should be used for a given application, but this doesn’t tell us the actual strength of that diameter of material. In most cases, the strength of a given material used to make a fastener has strength requirements or parameters described as pounds per square inch (psi) or thousands of pounds per square inch (ksi). ![]()
