Question: 

A bracket as shown in Figure No. 1 is fixed to a vertical steel column by means of five standard bolts.

 

Answer: 

Horizontal component of 45 KN, WH= 45Sin 600 =45x 0.866=38971N and vertical component of 45 KN, Wv,= 45xcos600 =45x0.5=22500N Direct tensile load in each bolt,Wt1= WH /5=38971/5=7794.20N Turning moment due to WH about G TH = WHx 25=38971x25=974275N (anticlockwise) direct shear load on each bolt =Ws=Wv/5 =22500/5=4500N Turning moment due to Wv about edge of the bracket, Tv= Wvx175=22500x175=3937500N-mm( clockwise( clockwise) Net turning moment =3937500-974275=2963225N---------(I) total moment of the load on the bolts @ th tilting edge = 2w x(L1) 2 + 2w x(L2) 2 =2xwx(50)2 + 2xwx(150)2 = 50000 w N-mm-----(II) from equations (I) and(II) 2963225N=50000 w N- w= 592.645 N max. tensile load on each of the upper bolt, Wt2= wL2 =592.645x150=88896.75 N tensile load on each of the upper bolt, Wt = Wt1+ Wt2 =7794.20+ 88896.75=96690.95N equivalent tensile load =Wte=1/2(Wt+ √‾(Wt)2 + 4(Ws)2 =1/2 ( 96690.95+97108.91)=96899.93 N Tensile load on each bolt = ∏/4(dc)2 x 6t =0.7854x(dc)2 x 70 dc = 41.98 mm from coarse series the standard core dia.
