Pin Loaded Holes

[trallee]

Does anyone know of any good reference materials for designing pin loaded holes?

You could try ESDU-Structures sheet 91008, which deals with the strength of lugs.

Thanks for replying but what is ESDU structures?

ESDU (Engineering Sciences Data Unit) is an international organization which provides validated engineering design data, methods and software for the engineer.
You can find contact addresses and telephone numbers on their web site:

Hope this is helpful.

 

AISC presents some lug design criteria in both the LRFD book (Load and Resistance Factor Design) and ASD (Allowable Stress Design). These books are readily available and most civil engineers and a significant number of mechanicals that are involved in any structural design will have it. In ASD, 9th edition it is located in Chapter D, page 5-40 to 5-41.

Good Luck
