The behaviour of standard bolted steel connections submitted to monotonic loads, through the use of numerical models, is presented in the current paper. The bolted connections allow speed up constructive processes in an increasingly competitive and globalized world in which the costs are a decisive factor in the development of a project. The use of computational tools in the analysis of bolted connections becomes determinant, mainly for new solutions or solutions less explored in terms of design codes. Throughout the years, bolted connections have been suffering transformations resulting from research activities performed by many authors. Rivets have been replaced by bolts, the main achievement being the pre-stressed bolts. Methodologies based on finite element analyses were proposed for double shear bolted connection. The non-linear behaviour of these connections is investigated and their performances are compared. In the numerical modelling of the bolted connection, linear elastic and elastoplastic analyzes reveal that there are two slip levels associated with local non-linearities caused by the contact pairs, which vary with clamping stresses.

Based on the existing test results of single shear bolted connection fabricated with cold-formed ferritic stainless steel, in this study, the experiment for double shear bolted connections with bolt arrangements(1×2, 2×2) and end distance parallel to the loading direction as main variables has been performed. Specimens were planed with a constant dimension of edge distance perpendicular to the loading direction, bolt diameter, pitch and gauge. Ultimate strength and fracture mode obtained from test results were compared with those predicted by current American and Japan design codes such as AISI and AIJ.

This paper covers the verification tests carried out at the Royal Military College of Canada on wood–steel–wood and wood–steel bolted connections. Thirty groups of specimens were tested. Specimen configurations were selected in such a way to include fundamental brittle and ductile failure mode cases. Comparisons between experimental results and predictions from proposed equations developed from steel–wood–steel bolted connections are given. Proposed design equations were found to provide better predictions of the ultimate loads than current CSA Standard O86.1 design procedures especially for bearing. However, row shear-out predictions seem to overestimate the strength. An adjustment using the reduced (effective) thickness concept is therefore proposed. Experimental observations on specimens that failed in row shear-out indicated that shear failure occurred over a reduced thickness. Stress analysis confirms findings on the reduced thickness. The research program is described in this paper along with the results and the proposed design equations for wood–steel–wood and wood–steel bolted connections loaded parallel-to-grain.Key words: wood–steel–wood, wood–steel, bolt, connection, strength, failure, design, thickness.
