Bolting Question
Bolting Question
(OP)
I am desinging a connection to transfer moment (small amount) and have specified Turn of Nut pretension. Should I design the bolts using SC shear values, or bearing type? There is not tension on the bolt group, long slotted holes are used in the direction of force.

Ron's comment about tension would be true if ned's connection were an end plate type connection, but from the description given, I don' think that is the case. Rather, I think there are angles, tees or plates connecting the beam flange to the column flange. Ned, am I correct?
