High Strength Structural Bolting
Steel Girder Construction
• High strength structural bolts are installed using the Turn-of-Nut Method.
• DTI’s are not used.

What Is High Strength Bolting & Why Is It Important?
• A325 or A490 Bolts are tightened to a prescribed tension to produce enough Friction force in a connection to resist imposed loads.
• High Strength Connections (slip critical connections) do not rely on bearing between the bolt and plate material to transfer loads. They rely on Friction.

4. Random Field Inspection 1. Select at random 10% of the tensioned bolts in each connection (2 minimum)
(00560.29 (d)) 2. Apply Job Inspection Torque. If none turn, the connection passes.3. If one or more fasteners turn, job inspection torque all fasteners in the connection.4. Re-tension & inspect all fasteners that turned when applying the Job Inspection Torque.

Job Inspection Torque for Long Bolts (Turn of Nut)
1. Sample 3 Bolt/Washer/Nut assembles
2. Place in skidmore and tighten to required tension in Table 560-1
3. Measure torque required to turn the nut 5 degrees (1” @ 12” radius)
4. Job inspection torque is the average of the 3 tests
Job Inspection Torque for Short Bolts (Turn of Nut)
1. Sample 3 Bolt/Washer/Nut assembles
2. Snug tight (10% of max allowable torque,
T = 1.15(0.25)PD)
2. Mark the Bolt/Nut/Plate
3. Tighten nut to rotation in Table 560-3
5. Measure torque required to turn the nut 5 degrees (1” @ 12” radius)
6. Job inspection torque is the average of the 3 tests

Field Inspection(Turn of Nut Method)
• Select at random 10% of the tensioned bolts (2 minimum) in each connection.
• Apply Job Inspection Torque. If none turn, the connection passes.
• If one or more fasteners turn, job torque the remaining fasteners in the connection.
• Re-tension and inspect all fasteners that turned for minimum Job Inspection Torque.

• Non-galvanized fasteners may be reused once.
• Galvanized fasteners may not be reused.
• Previously tightened fasteners, loosened by tightening of adjacent fasteners will not be considered a re-use.
