The paper presents 48 tests on the connections with bolts in bearing. Single bolts connections as well as the connections with up to six bolts positioned in the direction of loading were testes in order to obtain the evidence on bolt bearing deformation capacity and resistance. Several connection configurations including connection with bolts in single shear were tested. The bolt bearing resistance and the connection resistance are compared to Eurocode 3 design rules. Moreover, the numerical parametric study on 114 single bolt connections is presented. The results of the study are compared tothe Eurocode bearing resistance formula, as well as to the new bearing resistance formula that is based on the results of high strength steel bolt bearing connections.

The paper presents tests of the connections with bolts in bearing that were tested under the framework of this project. The tests were numerically simulated and the compassion between test and numerical results is given. The focus is set to the distribution of bearing forces on bolts. The results of the simulations show that the distribution of bearing forces may considerably deviate from the supposition of uniform distribution of these forces. Uniform distribution is for such connections assumed in the design practice.
