Minimum Edge Distance for Bolt Holes

The document provides minimum edge distance requirements for bolt holes near the edges of connected parts. It lists nominal bolt diameters down the left column and required minimum edge distances in inches for sheared edges, rolled edges, and gas cut or saw-cut edges across the top rows. For example, for a 1/2 inch bolt, the minimum edge distance is 7/8 inches for sheared edges, 3/4 inches for rolled edges, and 5/8 inches for gas cut edges. Edge distances may be reduced by 1/8 inches under certain stress conditions and some distances allow for reduced minimums at beam connection angles.

a For oversized or slotted holes, see the table below. b All edge distances in this column may be reduced 1/8-in. when the hole is at a point where stress does not exceed 25% of the maximum design strength in the element. c These may be 1 1/4 in. at the ends of beam connection angles.
