Bolted connections are the most frequently used type of separable connections in the construction of machines and devices. In this study possibilities of modelling of this type of connections in the LS-Dyna environment with reference to designing a supporting construction of road infrastructure have been presented. Modelling a safety connector with the use of BEAM elements brings satisfactory results mainly when object of interest is a whole structure not a bolt only. In the case when mainly mechanisms of damage of a bolted connection are analysed it is justifiable to model a safety connector with the use of SOLID elements.
