Provides comprehensive standards for the design, installation, and inspection of high-strength bolted joints in structural steel buildings. It categorizes fasteners into three specific strength groups and outlines the technical requirements for various components, including heavy hex bolts, nuts, and washers. The document details critical pretensioning methods—such as turn-of-nut and direct tension indicators—to ensure structural integrity and slip resistance. Furthermore, it defines the respons
