VDI 2230 – Part 1
Systematic calculation of highly stressed bolted joints – Joints with one cylindrical bolt
VDI 2230 Part 1 is an internationally recognized standard for the calculation of high-strength bolted joints. It is applied not only in Germany and Europe, but also in the United States and China.
The standard covers both concentrically and eccentrically loaded joints and explains the theoretical relationships between forces, moments, and deformations. The calculations are based on the assumption of plane cross-sections and are illustrated through practical examples.
