Tie rod Turnbuckle connection
Tie rod Turnbuckle connection
(OP)
I am doing an analysis of an existing structure that has a tension rod with a couple of Type 1 open, form 1 turnbuckle body forged in this tension member. The connection at the turnbuckle head shows no thread projection on the rod as should be expected. My question is: Is there a minimum Thread projection requirement in this type of connection? If so what should it be? Where do I find the specification on this matter? Thank you

I have always understood that there must be some length of screw thread protruding into the body of the turnbuckle to ensure the full load carrying capacity is developed.
