8、gust 1, 2014 RESEARCH COUNCIL ON STRUCTURAL CONNECTIONS 16.2-iii PREFACE The purpose of the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) is: (1) To stimulate and support such investigation as may be deemed necessary and valuable to determine the suitability, strength and behavior of various typ
9、es of structural connections; (2) To promote the knowledge of economical and efficient practices relating to such structural connections; and, (3) To prepare and publish related specifications and such other documents as necessary to achieving its purpose. The Council membership consists of qualifie
10、d structural engineers from academic and research institutions, practicing design engineers, suppliers and manufacturers of fastener components, fabricators, erectors and code-writing authorities. The first Specification approved by the Council, called the Specification for Assembly of Structural Jo
11、ints Using High Tensile Steel Bolts, was published in January 1951. Since that time the Council has published seventeen successive editions. Each was developed through the deliberations and approval of the full Council membership and based upon past successful usage, advances in the state of knowled
12、ge and changes in engineering design practice. This edition of the Councils Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts continues the tradition of earlier editions. The major changes are: Appendix B provisions were incorporated directly into Section 5 of the Specification. Toleranc
13、es for the Turn-of- Nut method were adjusted. Glossary definitions for “pretension” were added. F1136 coating on F1852 and F2280 bolts was deleted from Table 2.1 in recognition that this coating has not been approved by ASTM for use on TC bolts. Slip critical equations in Section 5.4 were updated fo
14、r consistent with the AISC Specification. Clarification language was provided for approval requirements for hole sizes other than standard holes. The snug-tightened joint definition was redefined back to the 2004 definition due to issues regarding turn-of-nut tension requirements. In addition, typog
15、raphical changes have been made throughout this Specification.
