ANALYTICAL STUDY ON SLIP COEFFICIENT CONSIDERING CONTACT PRESSURE OF FRICTION TYPE OF LARGE DIAMETER HIGH STRENGTH BOLTED CONNECTION

Abstract

In this study, we consider using large-diameter bolts for the standard thickness joints used in railway structures and making the minimum center spacing of the bolts smaller than the current standard. Then, we study for the purpose of shortening the length of the splicing plate and making it lighter. As a basic study, the relationship between the contact pressure and slip coefficient between the mother plate and the splicing plate when the tightening plate thickness was changed was confirmed analytically. In addition, we also verified the arrangement in which the minimum center interval of bolts is narrower than the current standard.
