At that time, high-strength structural steel rivets were common in buildings and bridges, but bolts were expected to be safer, quicker, and more economical if technical equivalence could be demonstrated. The council's first Specification [3] identified ASTM A325 bolts as one-to-one replacements for ASTM A141 rivets. [4]
ASTM A325 is an ASTM International standard for heavy hex structural bolts, titled Standard Specification for Structural Bolts, Steel, Heat Treated, 120/105 ksi Minimum Tensile Strength. It defines mechanical properties for bolts that range from 1 ⁄ 2 to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (13 to 38 mm) in diameter. [1]
DTIs are generally installed in accordance with the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) Specification for Structural Joints using High-Strength Bolts. [3] The RCSC specification has been adopted, in its entirety, by the American Institute of Steel Construction and appears as section 16 of that organization's Steel Construction Manual.
Similar to a wood screw, except that it is generally much larger running to lengths up to 15 in (381 mm) with diameters from 0.25–0.5 in (6.35–12.70 mm) in commonly available (hardware store) sizes (not counting larger mining and civil engineering lags and lag bolts) and it generally has a hexagonal drive head.
For each size bolt or screw and type of head, there is a corresponding size driver prescribed by various ISO standards, including: Internal hex drive: ISO 2936:2014 "Assembly tools for screws and nuts—Hexagon socket screw keys" [5] External hex drive: ISO 4014, 4016, 4017, and 4018 [6]
A few sizes are close enough to interchange for most purposes, such as 19 mm (close to 3 ⁄ 4 inch (19.05 mm)), 8 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 16 inch (7.94 mm)) and 4 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 32 inch (3.97 mm)). In reality, a wrench with a width across the flats of exactly 15 mm would fit too tightly to use on a bolt with a width across the flats of 15 mm.
