Research on Bolted Connections
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 121, Issue 1
Abstract
The introduction of the high-strength bolt as a structural connector has made it possible to produce structural joints that are superior to and often more economical than comparable riveted joints. However, to obtain full benefit from the use of these bolts it is necessary that they be installed with a high initial tension. The reasons for and the effects of this high tension are discussed herein on the basis of (a) previous data and (b) the results of static and fatigue tests that have been conducted recently on bolts and bolted connections subjected to shear and tensile loadings.
