IMPORTANT: Guidelines For Use
1. The Design Allowable strengths presented here are taken from
Data Sources acceptable to the LAA.
Within each material designation, considerable variation in
properties may occur, due to the factors listed below. The
values chosen represent the worst case figures from all of
the cases provided by the relevant Data Sources.
As worst case data is provided, it may be possible for any
specific case, to find allowables considerably higher than
those given. Using low allowables will increase the weight
of the item being designed.
If weight-saving is of high importance in the design, then
it is recommended that the user goes directly to the
original Data Sources to obtain higher allowables.
For example, for small modifications or repair schemes, the
weight penalty involved in using these allowable, will be
small, but for a major mod or a completely new airframe
design, the weight penalty may be significant.
2. Where these LAA design allowables are used in a submission
or report to the LAA, the user should include a reference to
this data sheet.
3. All of the figures given are for room temperature
applications only. The user should seek relevant specific
data for elevated temperature applications.
4. For each material designation, a list of heat treatments and
temper conditions is provided. The design allowable given is
the worst case for all of the conditions listed. If the user
has a material condition not listed, the LAA allowable
should not be used, and a relevant specific figure obtained
elsewhere.
5. Yield strengths should be compared with Limit Loads, and
Ultimate strengths should be compared with Ultimate Loads.
6. The Young’s Modulus figures quoted are lowest value. This
will be conservative when using the value to calculate
buckling loads.

7. The density figures quoted are lowest value. This WILL NOT
be conservative from a weight estimation point of view.
8. Down factored allowables must be used in the heat affected
zone of welded structures. If not given on this data sheet
for the material in question, then the LAA allowable should
not be used and a relevant specific figure obtained
elsewhere.
9. The correct abbreviation for
applicable Data Source, is given.

the
Factors Affecting Design Allowables from Data Sources
•
Material Shape and Form:- The thickness of a material can
have a large effect on it’s allowable strength. The way
in which it was formed (e.g. rolled or extruded) can also
have an influence.
•
Anisotropy:- The strength of some metals can vary
dependent on the direction of the applied load, relative
to the crystal structure (i.e. grain) of the metal.
•
Heat Treatment:- Heat treatment or temper conditions can
have a dramatic effect on the properties of metal alloys.
•
Statistical Basis:- Design data is generated from large
numbers of physical tests. The more samples tested, the
higher the confidence that can be assigned to the figures
obtained. The statistical basis of the data concerns the
number of samples, and the way in which the resulting
data is manipulated to obtain the design allowable. The
three bases usually quoted are named A, B and S. The LAA
design allowables are the lowest figure of all the bases
quoted in the Data Source.

also be the limiting factor.
6. The Shear Strengths given can only be generated on the
plain shank of the bolt. The thread should not be loaded
in shear. The bearing and shear-out strength of the
materials being joined should also be checked.
7. Where bolts are loaded simultaneously in

IMPORTANT: Guidelines For Use
1.
The Design Allowable strengths presented here are taken
from ANC-18 Design of Wood Aircraft Structures, June
1951, from the U.S. Department of Defense. This is a data
source acceptable to the LAA. Unlike the metallic
material properties above, they may be used for new
design work without weight penalty. For new design and
major modifications and repair, the user is strongly
advised to familiarise themselves with the analysis
techniques for wooden structures, described in the above
reference.
2.
Where these LAA design allowables are used in a
submission or report to the LAA, the user should include
a reference to this data sheet.
3.
All of the figures given are for room temperature
applications only. The user should seek relevant specific
data for elevated temperature applications.
4.
The basic material properties are given at 15% moisture
content and are for use with aircraft for use in
temperate climates. For aircraft used in tropical wet or
dry climates, the user should seek other relevant data.
5.
Ultimate strengths should be compared with Ultimate
Loads.
Proportional Limit Stresses (where available)
should be compared with Limit Loads
6.
The Modulus of Rupture in bending should only be used
directly as given in the table for solid rectangular
cross-section wooden beams. For other cross-sections a
form factor must be applied to the figure given. See ANC18 for form factor equations and tables.
7.
Interaction curves are given in ANC-18 for wooden spars
in combined bending and compression.
8.
The 45 degree in-plane shear strength of plywood is
dependent on whether the face grain is in tension or
compression. The lower of the two values is used here.

IMPORTANT: Guidelines For Use
The Design Allowable strengths presented here are taken from
Data Sources acceptable to the LAA.
Where these LAA design allowables are used in a submission or
report to the LAA, the user should include a reference to this
data sheet.
All of the figures given are for room temperature applications
only. The user should seek relevant specific data for elevated
temperature applications.
Yield strengths should be compared with Limit Loads, and
Ultimate strengths should be compared with Ultimate Loads.
Strengths are provided in metric and imperial units.
Joint allowables assume an edge distance of at least 2 x rivet
diameter.
All joints are assumed to be rigid and no rotation about a
single rivet is allowed.
When calculating shears in a rivet group, if the applied shear
load does not pass through the centroid of the group, then the
shear required to counter this induced torque must also be
considered.
For solid rivets:
The following upset dimensions are assumed:Diameter >= 1.3 x shank dia. (>= 1.4 x dia for
7050 rivets)
Head Height >= 0.3 x shank dia.
Yield is defined as a joint permanent set of 0.04 x rivet
diameter.
For Protruding Head Solid Rivets:
The lower of the rivet allowable shear strength and the
sheet material allowable bearing strength should be used
as the joint allowable strength.

Rivet allowable shear strengths need to be modified where
the rivet is subject to high bearing stresses as a result
of being set in thin sheet material. Thin sheet is
defined as follows:Single Shear Joints

When the non-countersunk sheet is thinner than the
countersunk sheet, the allowable bearing strength for it
should be calculated (as per a protruding rivet case ).
This should then be compared with the countersunk sheet
allowable from the table, and the lower of the two values
used.
Note that different allowables are obtained, based on
whether the joint is machine countersunk or dimpled. In
the dimpled joints, the dimpling can carry some of the
shear load.

Blind Rivets:
There are too many different types of blind rivet and
similar fastener, to provide a significant sample of
properties here. When any type of fastener is used, care
should be taken to source associated design strengths.
For aerospace specification fasteners, the manufacturer
may be able to supply appropriate data, however beware of
“typical”, “average” or similar data, as this will not
represent
worst
case
conservative
data.
Commercial
fasteners should be avoided wherever possible, as it is
even less likely that appropriate data will be available.
In the event of doubt over the suitability of design
data, please consult LAA Engineering. In some cases it
may be necessary to generate a strength test programme to
obtain design strengths of a suitable confidence level.
Rivets in Tension:
As a general rule it is unacceptable design practice to
use rivets as primarily tensile fasteners. Rivets may be
used to carry small tensile loads, incidental to their
shear carrying function.
The following applications are
carrying incidental tensile loads:-
examples
of
rivets
Skin joints to ribs and frames, seeing aerodynamic
suction forces.
Attachment of panels that operate in a post-buckled
condition.
Attachment of pressurised skins.
Tables of allowable ultimate strengths are provided for
solid rivets in applications similar to those above.
The allowables provided assume no load reversal in the
joint.
If load reversal is present, the allowables should be
reduced by 75%
Combined shear and tensile loads should be assessed using
the following interaction formula.

Redundancy should be provided in riveted joints, so that
at least 1 rivet may be considered to have failed (due to
improper installation) without the joint strengths being
exceeded by limit or ultimate loads.
