The document discusses bolt and fillet weld design according to Eurocode standards. It provides formulas and tables for calculating capacities of bolted and welded connections under various loads.

Steel grades S235, S275 and S355 are mentioned. S235 has a tensile strength of 360 MPa and yield strength of 235 MPa. S275 has tensile strength of 430 MPa and yield strength of 275 MPa. S355 has tensile strength of 510 MPa and yield strength of 355 MPa.

The shear, tension and bearing capacities of bolted connections are affected by factors like bolt diameter, grade, edge/end distances, plate thickness, joint geometry etc. Higher bolt grades, larger bolt diameters and thicker plates generally result in higher capacities.
