nUCOr Fastener shear strength

1 shear strengthteChnICaL data sheetnUCOr FastenerShear strength is defined as the maximum load typically applied normal to a Fastener s axis that can be supported prior to fracture. Single shear is load applied in one plane that would result in the Fastener being cut into two pieces, while double shear would result in three Fastener pieces. Single shear values for fasteners are typically calculated based upon the nominal body diameter or body shear area, BSA. See the definitions following the table below. An appropriate factor of safety must be applied to the calculated Single shear strength values by the Engineer of Record.
