. Design Check for Slip Resistance
(a) Slip-Critical Joints. Joints in which, in the judgment of the Engineer of
Record, slip would be detrimental to the behavior of the joint, are defined
as slip-critical. As discussed in the Commentary, these include but are not
necessarily limited to joints subject to fatigue or significant load reversal,
joints with bolts in oversize holes or slotted holes with the applied force
approximately in the direction of the long dimension of the slots and joints
in which welds and bolts share in transmitting shear loads at a common
faying surface. Slip-critical joints shall be checked for slip resistance, At
the option of the Engineer of Record, the required check may be based upon
either nominal loads or factored loads. When serviceability at the nominal
(service) load is the design criterion, the design slip resistance specified
in Section 5(b) shall be compared with the effects of the nominal loads.
When slip of the joint at the factored load level would affect the ability of
the structure to support the factored load, the design slip resistance speci-
fied in Section 5(c) shall be compared to the effects of the factored loads.
Slip-crtical joints shall also be checked to ensure that the ultimate
strength of the joint as a bearing joint is equal to or greater than the effect
of the factored loads.
Slip-critical joints must be designated on the contract plans and in the
specifications. Bolts used in slip-critical joints shall be installed in accor
dance with the provisions of Seotion 80).
