Block Shear Capacity of W8x24 Member

This document provides the solution to determining the design block shear rupture capacity of a 40ft long W8x24 steel beam with 3/4" diameter bolts. It calculates the relevant dimensions and material properties of the steel section. It then determines the block shear rupture capacity per block and for the total of 4 blocks as 605.8 kips, with a factored resistance of 454.4 kips. This exceeds the gross section yielding capacity of 318.6 kips and net fracture capacity of 255.5 kips from the previous example.

EXAMPLE 6

Determine the design block shear rupture capacity of the following tension member:

40ft long W8x24 (A992)


3/4" dia bolts

SOLUTION

Dimension of steel section W8x24 AISC Tab 1-1


tf 0.4 in
db 0.75 in

Steel grade A992 AISC Tab 2-4, P 2-48

Fy 50 ksi
Fu 65 ksi

Block shear path


V = 11 in
T = 1.5 in

Bolt hole
db 0.75 in
dh 0.875 in
2
Ah 0.350 in

V path T path
2 2
A gv =V*tf = 4.4 in A gt =T*tf = 0.6 in
n 3.5 n 0.5
2 2
A nv = 3.175 in A nt = 0.425 in
Block shear rupture

Ubs 1
F y A gv = 220 kips
F u A nv = 206.4 kips

Rn (1 block) = U bs F u A nt + 0.6 Min (F y A gv , F u A nv ) = 151.5 kips

n block 4
Rn (total) = 605.8 kips

φRn = 454.4 kips

From Example 5

gross section yieldin 318.6 kips


net fracture 255.5 kips
