High-strength bolts are used in the construction of many steel structures. For a given bolt, the required minimum bolt tension is 36
kips. Assuming the coefficient of static friction to be 0.30, determine the required couple (lb-ft) that should be applied to the bolt and
nut. The mean diameter of the thread is 2.17 in., and the lead is 0.185 in. Neglect friction between the nut and washer, and assume
the bolt to be square-threaded.
Given:
• minimum bolt tension is 36 kips ("W" in diagram"
• coefficient of static friction 0.30 find friction angle, th = ArcTan[us]
• mean diameter of the thread is 2.17 in → r = diameter/(2*12), change to feet
• lead is 0.185 in. → change to feet, find wedge angle, th = ArcTan[L/(2 Pi r)]
Find:
• the required couple (lb-ft) that should be applied to the bolt and nut
couple = M = r*Q → change inches to feet, kips = 1000 lbs
