High Strength Bolts In Tension
(OP)
Hello all! I have been looking for and answer to this question and cannot seem to find it anywhere. I am designing a rigging system and need to use (1) 1 1/2" diameter A490 bolt that will be fully in tension (hanger connection) My question is do I need to install double heavy hex nuts to to achieve the full tensile load of the bolt. My load is 57 kips and the bolt is no problem for the tensile load but I am concerned about the shear produced on the bolts threads within the nut. Is this correct thinking or does (1) nut have the capacity to resist the 57 kips? Thanks

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
