Fitted bolt connections in truss fabrication
Fitted bolt connections in truss fabrication
(OP)
The fabricator wants to use bolted connections on a truss. There are a few connections where slip critical connections will not work i.e. we will need a lot of bolts. So I am trying to see if I can use a fitted bolt connection for these connections. We are using 3/4" diameter A325X bolts. What size of hole is required to ensure a fitted bolt connection? Is this addressed in the Steel Manual or any other reference text?
