Non-preloaded bolted connections are widely used in steel structures, particularly in applications where high-strength clamping forces are not required. These connections rely on bearing resistance and shear capacity, making them suitable for low to moderate load conditions. In this blog, we explore the mechanical behavior, strength calculations, and best practices for designing non-preloaded bolted connections.
Bolts are a critical component in steel construction, used for securing connections, distributing loads, and maintaining structural integrity. Choosing the right bolt type ensures safety, durability, and performance in bridges, buildings, industrial plants, and machinery. This blog explores the different types of bolts, their characteristics, and applications in steel structures.
Bolted connections are essential in steel construction, providing strength, flexibility, and ease of assembly. These connections allow for structural integrity while facilitating maintenance and modifications. In this blog, we explore the types, advantages, and applications of bolted connections in steel structures.
