The following parameters will be utilized in the splice component and splice design.

Geometric Properties

Bolt diameter [in][0.625/0.75/0.875/1/1.1225]: Nominal diameter of the bolt used in design. The design only supports the given options for bolt diameter, and entering a different bolt diameter is not supported.

Diameter of the head [in]:

Diameter of the nut [in]:

Thickness of the head [in]:

Thickness of the nut [in]:

Mechanical Properties

Grade of Bolt Material[A325/F1852/A490/F2280/A307_GradeA]: The type of material used for the bolt determines the shear resistance of low strength bolts and the minimum required bolt tension for high strength bolts.

Is Bolt Slip Critical[Yes/No]: Option to specify the mechanism by which bolt force is transferred. This parameter turns automatically into ‘N/A’ (Not Applicable) in case a low strength bolt grade is selected.

Hole Type[StandardHole / OversizeAndShortSlottedHole / Long Slotted Holes with

Punched or Drilled Hole?: Affects the reduction factor for bolt holes in determining block shear rupture resistance.

Bolt Thread[Excluded/Included]: The type of bolt is determined by the position of threads relative to the shear plane and impacts the shear resistance of the bolt.

Surface Condition[ClassA/ClassB/ClassC/ClassD]: Related to the slip resistance of bolts. Refers to the condition of the faying surfaces, such as being unpainted and clean, blast-cleaned with a coating, galvanized, etc.
