Abstract

In Eurocode 3 Part 1-1 as well as in most of the existing models for prediction of the stiffness and strength properties of structural bolted joints, the effect of bolt preloading is disregarded. In the present paper, the influence of this factor on the characteristic joint deformability curves is pointed out and related formulae for stiffness and strength prediction are proposed.
