Aluminum Design | Tension Design Considering Reduced Cross-Sectional Area (such as Hole Weakening)
When connecting tension-loaded components with bolted connections, it is absolutely necessary to consider the cross-section reduction due to the bolt holes in the ultimate limit state design. The Aluminum Design add-on facilitates this procedure by entering a member local section reduction.
