About the bolt edge distance checker

Check bolt hole end, edge and pitch distances against the minimums in EN 1993-1-8 for your plate and hole size.

How it works

EN 1993-1-8 Table 3.3 minimums: end and edge distance 1.2 d0, pitch 2.2 d0 in the load direction and 2.4 d0 across it, where d0 is the hole diameter.

Questions

Does this replace a structural engineer?

No. It checks the geometric minimums only; connection design stays with the engineer.
