Required Thread Engagement for Bolt Tensile Strength
Required Thread Engagement for Bolt Tensile Strength
(OP)
Is anyone aware of texts that will allow me to determine the necessary thread engagement to achieve the AISC tensile strength of a bolt/threaded rod?
I have a 3/8 HRS plate being bolted to a tapped 3/4" HRS plate with 3/8" bolts. The client will most likely want stainless bolts, as I am sure that could affect the responses. I know I can easily achieve a nuts depth or (1) bolt diameter engagement, but this connection made me wonder if there was something out there that gave a threaded connection strength based on number of threads engaged.
TIA,
Juston
