This 2022 edition of the Structural Bolting Handbook is based principally upon the June 2020 edition of the RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts, cited by the 2022 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-22). It also incorporates aspects that are essential to the user based upon ASTM F3125/F3125M Standard Specification for High Strength Structural Bolts and Assemblies, Steel and Alloy Steel, Heat Treated, Inch Dimensions 120 ksi and 150 ksi Minimum Tensile Strength, and Metric Dimensions 830 MPa and 1040 MPa Minimum Tensile Strength.
Includes:
Step-by-step instructions for performing bolt installation to the snug-tight condition, including acceptance criteria
Step-by-step instructions for performing bolt installation and pretensioning using the
turn-of-nut method,
twist-off tension control bolt method,
combined method,
direct tension indicator method, and
calibrated wrench method.
Step-by-step instructions for performing bolt installation, initial torque/tensioning, and pretensioning using the ASTM F3148 (TnA®) Torque+Angle Fastening System
Step-by-step instructions for performing bolt installation and pretensioning using self-indicating direct tension indicators (DTIs)
Step-by-step pre-installation tests for each method
Step-by-step inspection procedures for each method
Step-by-step arbitration of disputes procedure
Step-by-step rotational capacity test procedures
Bolted joint descriptions (snug-tightened, pretensioned, slip critical, X, and N)
Bolt, nut, and washer product identification markings
