Abstract

High-strength bolt connection is a kind of main connection mode of prefabricated steel structures. Due to the insufficient fatigue performance of high-strength bolts, the degree of damage in the steel structure is very serious, so the fatigue performance research of high strength bolts cannot be ignored. The research object of the paper is M24 twisted-shear high-strength bolts in a steel structure buildings. Some special tests and results analysis on the normal fatigue performance were carried out, establishing the fatigue S-N curve of M24 twisted-shear high-strength bolts, revealing the fatigue failure mechanism of M24 torsion-shear high-strength bolts; obtaining the fatigue S-N curve equation; and estimating the fatigue life of high-strength bolts by using the Paris formula. In addition, by comparing the test data in this paper with the constant fatigue test data of high-strength bolts in the existing research literature, it can be seen how the strength grade of the bolts and the pretension force have an impact on the fatigue strength. It is further revealed that the M24 torsion-shear high-strength bolt with full pretension force has twice as long fatigue life than the other two types of bolts. By comparing the test results of M24 and M20 bolts under full pretension, it is known the relation between the fatigue strength of the bolts and diameter decreases. The research data and useful conclusions can provide scientific basis and theoretical reference for the anti-fatigue design of M24 torsion-shear high-strength bolt connection.
