Overview

About the Calculator

Effortlessly analyze steel bolt connections using the ClearCalcs Steel Bolt Group Analysis Calculator. This powerful tool allows for the analysis of numerous steel bolts located at arbitrary X and Y positions, considering in-plane shear and moment loads. Keep in mind that users must independently verify and assess bolt design and detailing requirements.

Accurate and compliant bolt group analaysis with US standards

ClearCalcs Steel Bolt Group Analysis Calculator is developed to meet the rigorous standards outlined in the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 15th edition (ASD). This ensures that your calculations are accurate and compliant with industry regulations.

User-friendly interface for instant bolted joint analysis results

With an easy-to-use interface, you can input the X and Y-location of each bolt location and instantly obtain the results you need. No more wasting time on complex calculations - our calculator simplifies the process for you.

Seamlessly integrate applied loads and eccentricities to bolt group calculation

Whether you have in-plane vertical loads or moment loads, our calculator allows you to add them easily. You can even link directly from one of ClearCalcs' other calculators, streamlining your workflow and saving you valuable time.

Maximum resultant shear force at a glance

With ClearCalcs' Steel Bolt Group Analysis Calculator, obtaining a rapid summary of the maximum shear force on your bolt is now a breeze. This valuable information will empower you to make well-informed design decisions with certainty.

Comprehensive reference for formulas and standards

When it comes to designing, relying on a "black box" can lead to uncertain outcomes and guesswork. That's why ClearCalcs Steel Bolt Group Analysis Calculator should be your go-to tool for designing with complete confidence in the accuracy and reliability of your work. With its comprehensive reference section covering all formulas and clauses in the applicable standards, this calculator is an invaluable resource for any engineer looking for a trustworthy solution.

Why ClearCalcs?

Frustration to Flow

See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

With ClearCalcs

Effortless, efficient engineering calculations at your fingertips.

100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.

Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.

Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.

Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.

How It Works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
