Steel beam to column shear connection with short slotted holes - Bracing the column?
All, thank you very much for your responses. I did convince myself that bracing of the column is guaranteed if the bolts are pre-tensioned, since enough friction will be developed even if the surfaces are not prepared according to the slip critical surfaces. I believe that also AISC is saying...- MCip

Steel beam to column shear connection with short slotted holes - Bracing the column?
Hello For a typical shear connection of girder to column, AISC allows the use of short slotted holes perpendicular to the direction of the load (shear). However, my doubt is: can the beam be considered as a lateral brace for the column? The brace force will be parallel to the slots. Similarly...- MCip
