  2. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    A bolted joint is one of the most common elements in construction and machine design. It consists of a male threaded fastener (e. g., a bolt) that captures and joins other parts, secured with a matching female screw thread. There are two main types of bolted joint designs: tension joints and shear joints.

  3. Research Council on Structural Connections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Council_on...

    The Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) is a research organization focused on bolted structural connections. Their technical standard on this subject is cited in the US steel design code. [1] Prior to 1980, the organization was known as the Research Council on Riveted and Bolted Structural Joints (RCRBSJ).

  4. Embedment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedment

    In critical fastener joints, embedment can mean loss of preload. Flattening of a surface allows the strain of a screw to relax, which in turn correlates with a loss in tension and thus preload. In bolted joints with particularly short grip lengths, the loss of preload due to embedment can be especially significant, causing complete loss of preload.

  5. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

    A bolted joint is a mechanical joint which is the most popular choice for connecting two members together. It is easy to design and easy to procure parts for, making it a very popular design choice for many applications. Advantage: Joints are easily assembled/ disassembled by using a torque wrench or other fastener tooling. [7]

  6. Slip-critical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-critical_joint

    Slip-critical joint, from structural engineering, is a type of bolted structural steel connection which relies on friction between the two connected elements rather than bolt shear or bolt bearing to join two structural elements.

  7. Citicorp Center engineering crisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citicorp_Center...

    LeMessurier's original design for the chevron load braces used welded joints. To save money, Bethlehem Steel proposed changing the construction plans to use bolted joints, a design modification accepted by LeMessurier's office but unknown to the engineer himself until later. [17]

  8. Truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    After determining the minimum cross section of the members, the last step in the design of a truss would be detailing of the bolted joints, e.g., involving shear stress of the bolt connections used in the joints. Based on the needs of the project, truss internal connections (joints) can be designed as rigid, semi rigid, or hinged.

  9. Bolt (fastener) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(fastener)

    Rock bolt - Used in tunnel construction to stabilize walls. Sex bolt or Chicago bolt - Bolt that has a male and female part with interior threads and bolt heads on either end. Commonly used in paper binding. Shoulder bolt or stripper bolt - Bolt with a broad smooth shank and small threaded section at the end used as a pivot pin or attachment point.
