Steel Girder Construction

High strength structural bolts are installed
using the Turn-of-Nut Method.
DTIs are not used.
What Is High Strength Bolting

& Why Is It Important?
A325 or A490 Bolts are tightened to a prescribed
tension to produce enough Friction force in a
connection to resist imposed loads.
High Strength Connections (slip critical
connections) do not rely on bearing between the
bolt and plate material to transfer loads. They rely
on Friction.

What is the turn requirement in the rotational capacity test
for a bolt with a diameter = 7/8 and a bolt length = 6?
4 Diameters = 4 (7/8) = 3.5
8 Diameters = 8 (7/8) = 7
Single turn requirement from Table 560-3 = 1/2 turn

Twice rotation = 2 (1/2 turn) = 1 full turn
