Reliability Analysis of Single-Headed Anchor Bolts
Several design equations for predicting the capacity of single-headed anchor bolts embedded in plain concrete have been recommended in the United States. The capacities predicted by these...
Lightning Spurs Hydro Rehab
In 1986, a bolt of lightning hit the Upriver Hydro Project in Spokane, Washington and tripped the plant off line. The event triggered a series of events that included an undermining of...
For Want of a Bolt...
While counterfeit bolt-nut imports make sensational headlines, civil engineers should be more concerned with actual construction problems that have arisen in the past decade. Experts say...
Rational Design Approach for Tension on the Net Section
A study of the bearing and net section capacities of bolt connections for material thicknesses encountered in cold-formed members was conducted. This paper summarizes the findings as they...
Multiple Bolt Row Moment End-Plates
This paper presents a portion of the results of a study to develop design procedures for the extended, multiple row, moment end-plate configuration. This configuration is used in steel...
Bolted Connections for Steel Towers
Laced electrical transmission towers require on-site assembly. Consequently, the number of bolts and pieces are important considerations in the total cost of the structures. ASTM A394(1)...
Evaluation of Non-Ductile Drilled-in Expansion Bolts
This paper provides background and justification for the design of closely spaced non-ductile drilled-in expansion bolts (bolts). It describes testing used to establish allowable design...
Supplement to Bibliography on Bolted and Riveted Joints
This supplement presents abstracts of articles on mechanically fastened joints that have appeared since the publication of ASCE Manual No .48 which covered work up to September 1966. Altogether,...
