Slip Critical connection - ?
Slip Critical connection - ?
(OP)
I have a connection where a 3" long cantilevered plate is loaded 2.5" out causing a moment force on the connection point. The connection point is a round tube that sits between two other round tubes. There is one bolt that makes the connection. So the connection appears to be a pinned connection but we all know that would be unstable. So I was wondering if the engineer thought that he could make it a slip critical connection. So the moment you would be resisted by the torque requirement of the bolt to achieve the proper friction value.
The load is almost a joke at .5K giving you a moment of 1.25K*in = 1.25" couple force given a 1" inside diameter. The slip resistance on a 1" diameter bolt = 33.9K. Am I missing something, Does anyone see a problem with this approach?

Connectegr - could you tell me where I would find the requirements for the faying surface?
Thank you
