Handle Complex Bolt Group Loading
Prokon Bolt Group enables accurate analysis of bolt groups under eccentric loading conditions, eliminating guesswork and improving structural reliability.
Ensure Consistent Code Compliance
It simplifies compliance with local and international design standards by embedding code-specific checks directly into the calculation process.
Eliminate Manual Calculation Errors
It streamlines bolted connection design by automating detailed force distribution and verification, reducing errors and accelerating engineering workflows.
Design Safer, Smarter Bolted Connections
BOLT GROUP USE CASE
Challenge
An engineering consultant was tasked with designing several bolted steel connections for a structural steel warehouse. The connections involved eccentric shear loading and required code-compliant verification under shear. The engineer needed a solution that could accurately model bolt group behaviour, support SANS 10162 requirements, and deliver clear calculation output for submission and approval.
Solution
Using Prokon Bolt Group, the engineer defined the bolt layout and eccentric loading conditions for each connection. The software automatically analysed the force distribution within the bolt group and verified the connection against the selected code. Several layout configurations were tested to optimise bolt quantity and positioning, with instant visual feedback and detailed output.
