Laterally loaded single-bolt connection

ASD only — NDS 2024 (wood), AISC (steel), ASCE 7 ASD (load combinations). Every output shows formula, variables, units, and result.

Reference lateral design value Z from NDS Table 12.3.1A (minimum of six yield modes), dowel bearing per §12.3.3, angle to grain for F_e per Eq. 12.3-11, and adjusted value Z′ using the load duration, wet service, and temperature factors you enter. You remain responsible for all assumptions, minimum edge/end distances, additional factors, and edition of the NDS.

Pick C_D from the governing ASD load combination (ASCE 7). Confirm all factors against NDS 2024 Table 11.3.1.

Results

Reference lateral design value Z (NDS min. yield mode) —

—

Minimum of modes I_m, I_s, II, III_m, III_s, IV (Table 12.3.1A, single or double shear) before load-duration and service adjustments.

Adjusted lateral design value Z′ —

—

Z′ = Z × C_D × C_M × C_t for the factors entered. Other Table 11.3.1 factors (e.g. C_i, format conversion) are not applied here.
