Thank you for the helpful video. I was wondering, in the last example of the bolted connection design, should the single-bolt formula be used since the shear failure plane passes through one bolt? Or 2 bolts of fomula should be used because of the two angles; if thats the case, the fomulas should be subject to the number of shear failure planes rather than the number of bolts? Thanks in advance

[@DrJQureshi]

The leg angles fail at one shear plane if the bolts are in line. Picture plates with four strong bolts in a row. When shear load is applied, the hole near the load fails first. This becomes the shear plane. The shear plane won't continue to the other bolts since the first hole already failed. I don't know if I explained it properly or not. I had some KZbin videos to explain the concept, but I cannot find them now.

​@DrJQureshi Thank you for your response. Apologies if I didn’t express my question clearly. In the bolted angles example with two bolts in a row, should the single-bolt formula be used? In your video, I believe the two-bolt formula was applied. The formulas I’m referring to can be found in your Tutorial Slide-8.

Thanks, you are kind!

Have you made a example of horizontal bracing for seismic force??

[@DrJQureshi]

No, not seismic loading. But I’ve example on wind loading. Just search up concept and scheme design in my steel design video series.

Hi Sir, could you please suggest me to refer best steel structure design book as per Eurocode

[@DrJQureshi]

In addition to book mentioned earlier, following guide is also very useful for students and recent gradaute engineers SCI P387 guide Steel building design: Worked examples for students

[@AhtesamKhan-ix9jn]

Thanks for your quick response Sir, I am working as a professional 2:35 in oil and gas industry as a structural engineer..i really need to clear the concept of steel structure.
