This master theses depicts FEM analysis of bolt joints where the focus is on investigating the stressrelationship between plate and bolt. Two bolts, M8 and M16, have been analyzed where they havebeen prestressed to 70 % of the ultimate tensile strength for steel type 8.8. A surface load has beenapplied in tension along the lateral surface of a cylindrical plate. The load distribution between plateand bolt of the external load varies between 2-28 % and 1-99 % for M8 and M16 in comparison to 20% stated in equation 2.7 in SS-EN 1993-1-8.The conclusion of studies shows that the behavior between the bolt and plate is not as previouslythought in SS-EN 1993-1-8. The bolt deforms negatively first when the system is subjected to externalload. This causes the resulting force to decrease. This behavior means that the bolt is designed towithstand larger loads than necessary. The factor 0.2 should be redefined. The authors recommendthat methods proposed by Pedersen and Pedersen [2008] or Haidar et al. [2011] should be used.
