Abstract:: According to the difference of minimum allowable bolt distance in Code for Design of Steel Structures of China and German specification, the connecting plate which was connected with common bolts was selected as object, and the effect differences of the two specifications were compared. Tension comparative analysis was carried out with various bolt distances. The minimum allowable distances of the two specifications which was 3 times and 3.5 times of the diameter of bolt hole were compared using the large general software ANSYS, and the stress distribution law was analyzed. The allowable bolt distances of the two specifications were studied. The results show that the elastic limit and yield limit of specimen increase with the increase of bolt distance. Under German specification, the bearing capacity of component is improved and the structure is more stable.
