Thanks you sirs. Intend to use threaded bolts with tack welded nut due to large base moments.
That's the plan, until the SS gets v.E.'ed out of the project.
I am designing some exterior Structural SS elsewhere on this project..any good references by AISC? I have a Euro Inox publication.
Dik,
We typically use J-bolts at columns where uplift is not a problem. Columns where the anchor bolts really don't do much other than provide erection stability.
Columns with uplift/moments we will use threaded bolts with nuts.
Oldrunner,
AISC Design Guide #1 and/or ACI 318 Appendix D...
Great, thanks for the input. The Portland Bolt website was perfect. I am going to specify the bolts with 90 degree bends. 1" diameter, ASTM A304, minimum yield stress Fy=35 ksi. I believe that should be sufficient to ensure the contractor is getting the right material.
Hi,
Stainless steel bolts for a WF canopy column. Architectually exposed, architect wants to see the bolts. Right now I'm thinking A316L type 70. I'm having a hard time finding some good values of Fy and Fu and E to use in my calculations.
But I am learning a lot about stainless steel...
