Pin Clearance Effect on Pinned Connection Strength
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 7
Abstract
Reduction of the ultimate strength of pinned connections as a result of large clearance between the pin and the hole is discussed. Test data are used to develop curves quantifying this reduction for the two primary modes of failure for pin plates. General suggestions are made for the design of pinned connections in which the pin-to-hole clearance may vary.
