Hollow Section Splice Design | BS 5950

Design Parameters

Project Name

Designer

Name	Tension (kN)

Tension splices only: the guides give no structural integrity checks because the principal force is tension. Compression is carried in bearing.

Section

Steel grade

Depth D (along the bolt rows)Diameter D (mm)

Width B (mm)

Wall t (mm)

Area (mm², 0 = from the dimensions)

The area from the dimensions uses hot-finished corner radii (outside 1.5t, inside t). Enter the tabulated area if it differs.

End plate thickness t_p (mm)

Plate grade

Bolts

Diameter

Bolts per row (2 rows)

Pitch p (mm)

Number of bolts (equally spaced)

e₁: section face to bolt line (mm)

e₂: bolt line to plate edge (mm)

e₃: end bolt to plate end (mm)
