    machine screws

    Thanks for your help. This is for the connection of a sliding glass door to header in an office space. The header is steel and will have a tapped threaded hole to receive the screw. I was hoping there might be book values for shear and tension like AISC has for bolts but it sounds like maybe...

    machine screws

    I have been unable to find allowable shear and tension values for machine screws. 1/4" diameter and smaller. Does anyone have a reference?

    european structural steel shapes

    I am reviewing structural drawings from the 1980s for a high rise in San Francisco and there is a column section denoted "WTM24x275x250". In the general notes, it's called a "european section". Is this a box column? Any idea where to find section properties for this?
