Consider Bolt Hole Deformation - Using Eq J3-6a or Eq J3-6b for Bolt Bearing
Check
Select Yes/No for option of using Equation J3-6a or J3-6b in the bolt bearing check.
When select Yes, Equation J3-6a will be used in the bolt bearing check,
as such
the max bolt hole deformation at service load is limited to be less than
0.25 inch.
In cases where there is reverse/cyclic load, fatigue, impact, or end
rotation is an issue,
it's recommended to select Yes and use Eq J3-6a
When
select No, Equation J3-6b will be used in the bolt bearing
check.
