WF Column Web Bolt Gage
WF Column Web Bolt Gage
(OP)
Is there a requirement for minimum bolt gage for connecting to wf column webs?
Understandably perpendicular bolt clearances are of interest but with angles welded to the beam, is there an AISC or other requirement on minimum bolt gage in the column web?
Running a connection program and it's flagging a particular gage as less than 5 1/2" (which is not settable in the software), so I am trying to sort out whether it's just a program preset issue or a code stipulation.

Might there be a link to that or do you have it?

You can probably google it as well and get some good information. But more or less what nutte said; there's no code requirement just what can practically be built given bolt and tool clearance.
