Slip-critical connections
(Cl 13.12.2.2)
• When slippage of a connection during normal
service conditions (under unfactored loads) is
undesirable
• Bolts are pretensioned to at least 70% of their
ultimate strength
Vs = c1 ks m n (0.7)(0.75) AbFu
where ks = slip coefficient and c1 = coefficient that relates the specific
initial tension and mean slip to a 5% probability of slip for bolts
installed by the turn-of-the-nut method
