This purely academic.

I watched the Discovery Channel Program on building Tower One at the WTC site where it showed the Iron Working Connector Crews hanging iron for the new building when the question came up about the bolting in specific. The crew on television apparently only sets the steel.

Does other crews come along to do all the bolting as I saw only one connection where there were more that one or two bolts?

What would be the classification of these connection?

 
This past Sunday (9/4/11) the NY Times magazine had a nice photo essay on the ironworkers putting up the Freedom Tower.
