M2 is the partial safety factor for the resistance of bolts in accordance with EN1993-1-8 §2.2(2) Table 2.1 and the National Annex. The recommended value in EN1993-1-8 is γ M2 = 1.25. Pitch is the distance from the crest of one thread to the next or the distance from one thread groove to the next, measured from crest to crest. Pitch is also described as the number of threads per inch. where e 2 is the distance between the center of the edge bolt and the end of the plate measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction, p 2 is the distance between the centers of neighboring bolts measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction, and d 0 is the diameter of the bolt hole. The nominal gross area A g corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the unthreaded part of the bolt: The resulting hole diameter d 0 for each type of hole (normal, oversize, short slotted, long slotted) is determined by adding the nominal clearance given in EN 1090-2 Table 11 to the nominal diameter d of the bolt.

The width of the hexagon nuts across flats s is specified in ISO 898-2 Table A.1 for bolt sizes M5 to M39. The standard coarse pitch thread metric bolt sizes are: M3, M3.5, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M33, M36, M39. The smallest or largest pitch diameter that fits onto a screw or into a nut, including all of the form deviations such as lead, thread angle, taper, and roundness. Functional diameter is a measure of the ability to assemble the thread.Minimum and maximum spacing p 1, p 2 and edge distances e 1, e 2 for bolts are given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.3. The minimum values are: e 1≥ 1.2 d 0, e 2≥ 1.2 d 0, p 1≥ 2.2 d 0, p 2≥ 2.4 d 0, where d 0 is the diameter of the hole, e 1, p 1 are measured parallel to the load transfer direction and e 2, p 2 are measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction. For preloaded bolted connections which are slip-resistant at the Serviceability Limit State or the Ultimate Limit State the corresponding shear load F v,Ed should not exceed the design slip resistance as specified in EN1993-1-8 §3.9 and Table 3.2. Only bolt assemblies of classes 8.8 and 10.9 may be used as preloaded bolts. For bolts with cut threads where the threads do not comply with EN 1090 the relevant resistances should be multiplied by a factor of 0.85 according to EN1993-1-8 § 3.6.1(3). For standard coarse pitch thread and fine pitch thread bolts the nominal stress area A s is provided in ISO 898-1 Tables 4 to 7.
bolts M5 to M39 Table of design properties for metric steel bolts M5 to M39
Coarse threads are those with larger pitch (fewer threads per axial distance), and fine threads are those with smaller pitch (more threads per axial distance). Coarse threads have a larger threadform relative to screw diameter, whereas fine threads have a smaller threadform relative to screw diameter. According to EN1993-1-8 § 3.6.1(4) the design shear resistance F v,Rd should only be used where the bolts are used in holes with nominal clearances not exceeding those for normal holes as specified in EN 1090-2 'Requirements for the execution of steel structures'.The interaction between shear and tension is expressed in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 according to the following linear relation:
