Single Plate Connection Using Long Slotted Holes
Single Plate Connection Using Long Slotted Holes
(OP)
Are long slotted holes prohibited for single plate connections if the holes are oriented normal to the design load? The AISC Steel Manual verbiage only addresses standard and short slotted holes but I can't find any LSDT holes prohibition.
Furthermore, can a ST joint be used in this situation if a continuous PL type washer is placed over the slotted holes?
BACKGROUND - This connection type is for new steel beeams placed below (in order to reinforce) an existing elevated one way joist/slab type concrete floor. Existing M/E/P/S construction occurs between the joists so the steel erector is requesting the long slots to provide flexibility dutring erection.
Thanks
