Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Chris and Mike:
- What Is Structural Bolting Methodology?
- What is the difference between torque and tension?
- The United States construction code (AISC/RCSC) has not allowed a standardized torque value for a structural bolt since 1953. However, you believe that there is still a predominant way to install structural bolts. What is that way?
- What are some of the structural bolting standards and specifications that engineers should be aware of?
- Where can structural engineers learn more about how to tighten a bolt properly, according to code, to assure a structure’s design integrity and purpose?
- Do you have any advice for engineers when working on projects?
