No research has been performed by the Council o establish the tur-of-nt procedure for bolt iengths exceeding 12 ciameters. Therefore, the requfed rotation must be determined by actual tat in a suitable tension measuring device which simulates conditions of solidly fitted steel of the joint to its free edges. During snugging and final tightening, the element not turned in tightening shall be held to prevent rotation ‘which will damage threads. In some cases, proper tensioning of the boits may require more than a single cycle of systematic tightening to ensure al] bolts are tightened to at least the prescribed amount. (3) Installation of Alternative Design Bolts. When fasteners which incorpo a design Seam intone ta indicate apicdetermined eee ee dri = ees are to be installed, a representative sample of not less than three bolts of each diameter, length and grade shall be checked at the job site in a device capable of indicating bolt tension. The test assembly shall include flat hardened washers, if required in the actual connection, arranged as in the actual connections to be ten- sioned. The calibration test shall demonstrate that each bolt develops a tension not less than 5 percent greater than the tension required by Table 4. Manufacturer's installation procedure as required by Section 2(d) shall be followed for installation of bolts in the cali- bration device and in all connections. “Wher altemative design Fasteners are WSCC Mi Tie Work, DOTS shall be installed in all holes of the connection and initially tight- ened sufficiently to bring all plies of the joint into firm contact with the bolts uniformly tight but without yielding or fracturing the con- trol or indicator element of the fasteners.
