Hi,
The critical path in a block shear failure involves one or more planes of shear that run parallel to the line of applied force, and one plane of tension that runs perpendicular to the force. For bolted connections with staggered bolts, the segment inclined to the force between the bolt holes...
Hi swearingen,
Thanks for your response.
My assumption for the values g and s are shown on the attached sketch in the original post. My understanding was that the s^2/4g was to find the effective tension component of an inclined segment in a block shear pattern failure because there is shear...

Hi,
For the tear out calculation of the connected member in a welded connection, would it be reasonable to use the s^2/(4g) formula (AISC 360-16 B4.3b. or CSA S16 12.3.1) for the segment of the failure path that is inclined to the force. The formula is made for bolted...
