The minimum allowable distance of bolts is checked according to Table 11.5.2.

Minimum allowable distance of bolts; d₀ – bolt hole diameter

	Minimum allowable distance
Bolt pitch	$3 \cdot d_0$
End distance parallel to load	$2 \cdot d_0$
Edge distance perpendicular to load (bearing bolt type)	$1.2 \cdot d_0$
Edge distance perpendicular to load (preloded bolt type)	$1.5 \cdot d_0$

The minimal weld size h_f is checked according to Table 11.3.5. The weld size is determined from weld throat thickness: $h_f = \sqrt{2} \cdot h_e$ .
