Standard Specification for
Structural Bolts, Steel, Heat Treated, 120/105 ksi Minimum
Tensile Strength
Standard Specification for
Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts
SIZE:M16-M36
This Specification deals principally with two strength grades of high-strength
bolts, ASTM A325 and A490, and with their design, installation and inspection in
structural steel joints. Equivalent fasteners, however, such as ASTM F1852
(equivalent to ASTM A325) twist-off-type tension-control bolt assemblies, are
also covered. These provisions may not be relied upon for high-strength fasteners
of other chemical composition, mechanical properties, or size. These provisions do
not apply when material other than steel is included in the grip; nor are they
applicable to anchor rods.
This Specification relates only to the performance of fasteners in structural
steel joints and those few aspects of the connected material that affect this
performance. Many other aspects of connection design and fabrication are of equal
importance and must not be overlooked. For more general information on design
and issues relating to high-strength bolting and the connected material, refer to
current steel design textbooks and the Guide to Design Criteria for Bolted and
Riveted Joints, 2 nd Edition (Kulak et al., 1987).
