screw/bolts into tapped holes
screw/bolts into tapped holes
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone has any information/codes on using tapped bolts for structural/ building applications. I have talked with AISC and they are really no help. I have a european client and they use this type of fastener all of the time. I know that it is used in many other industries in the U.S. also but I can't seem to find any info. Also if you have data/references for the tapped screw/bolt allowable loads.
Thank You
Thank You





RE: screw/bolts into tapped holes
Section 7.6 covers fasteners in tapped holes and has some tables of minimum depth of tapped holes. All the other documentation I have seen simply states that the depth of the tapped hole should be sufficient to develop the full strength of the fastener.
Good Luck

Thanks for the link. Most engineers probably don't realize the amount of excellent reference manuals available from the Navy and the Corps of Engineers.
