RE: Slot-to-Slot Connections
1). I am referring to short slots that are 90º to one another
2). The direction of the applied load can be at nearly any angle.
3). Slip or movement of the members has no effect on the structure;
to ask another way, can it be assumed that the connection goes into bearing or does having slots 90º from on another make this assumption invalid/impossible?
RE: Slot-to-Slot Connections
"Short slotted holes may be used in any or all plies of slip=critical or bearing type connectionsand without regard to direction of loading in slip-critical connections, but shall be normal to the direction of the load in bearing-type connections."
If you have slots in both directions, they won't both be normal to the direction of load. Even if it were allowed, it seems like a bad idea.
