Tightening Requirements for Stainless Steel Bolts
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-20-0074
Project Abstract:
This project investigates the bolting requirements for structural stainless steel bolted connections. The evaluation includes the effect of stainless steel material and lubricant type on bolt pretensioning and connection load-slip behaviors. The objective of the project is to provide data to support guidance for specification requirements when using stainless steel bolts.
