BEHAVIOR OF LARGE BOLTED JOINTS

THIS PAPER SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS OF TENSION TESTS OF LONG STRUCTURAL SPLICES OF A7 OR A440 STEEL CONNECTED BY HIGH- STRENGTH BOLTS /A325 OR A490/ WHICH HAVE PROVIDED BACKGROUND FOR PARTS OF THE SPECIFICATION OF THE RESEARCH COUNCIL ON RIVETED AND BOLTED STRUCTURAL JOINTS. THE INFLUENCE OF THE JOINT LENGTH, PITCH, RELATIVE PROPORTIONS OF THE NET TENSILE AREA OF THE PLATE TO THE BOLT SHEAR AREA ON THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF BEARING-TYPE CONNECTIONS IS DETERMINED BY THEORETICAL STUDIES AND CONFIRMING TESTS. DATA ON THE SLIP RESISTANCE IS ALSO PRESENTED FOR USE IN DESIGNING FRICTION- TYPE CONNECTIONS. /AUTHOR/
