ASTM A325 OR A490 BOLTS 6-381 Ru = 1.132, Ni Ne (LRFD 5.3) Where terms in Formula (LRED 5.3) are as defined in 5(b). ‘When using factored loads as the basis for design of slip-critical con- nections subject to applied tension, 7, that reduces the net clamping force, the slip resistance (R,) shall be multiplied by the following factor in which T is the applied tensile force at nominal loads O1-T/(L.13%,N,)) (LRED 5.4) 6, Loads in Combination When the reduced probabilities of maximum loads acting concurrently are accounted for by load combination factors, the resistances given in this Specification shall not be increased. 7. Design Details of Bolted Connections (a) Standard Holes. In the absence of approval by the Engineer of Record for use of other hole types, standard holes shall be used in high-strength bolted connections. (b) Oversize and Slotted Hotes. When approved by the Engineer of Record, oversize holes, short slotted holes or long slotted holes may be used sub- ject to the following joint detail requirements: (1) Oversize holes may be used in all plies of connections in which the design slip resistance of the connection is greater than the fac- tored nominal load. (2) Short slotted holes may be used in any or all plies of connections in which the design strength (Section 4(a)) is greater than the fac- tored nominal load provided the load is applied approximately nor- mal (between 80 and 100 degrees) to the axis of the slot. Short slotted holes may be used without regard forthe direction of applied toad in any or ll plies of connections in which the design slip resis- tance (Section 5(b)) is greater than the factored nominal load. (3) Long slotted holes may be used in one of the connected parts at “any- individual faying surface in-conmections-in-which the design. : : 7 provided the load is applied approximately normal (between 80 and 100 degrees) to the axis of the slot. Long slotted holes may be used in one of the connected parts at any individual faying surface with- ‘out regard for the direction of applied load on connections in which the design slip resistance (Section 5(b)) is greater than the factored nominal load. (4) Fully inserted finger shims between the faying surfaces of load transmitting elements of connections are not to be considered a long slot element of a connection. (c)_Washer Requirements. Design details shall provide for washers in high. strength bolted connections as follows: (1) Where the outer face of the bolted parts has a slope greater than 1:20 with respect to a plane normal to the bolt axis, a hardened beveled ‘washer shall be used to compensate for the lack of parallelism.
