The Contrast Studies on High- Strength Bolts in Slip-Critical Connections between the Chinese and American Steel Structure Design Codes

摘要

In the design of steel structure, the requirements for the high-strength bolts in slip-critical connections are not identical in China and America. The Steel Structure Design Codes (GB50017-2003) [1] is used in China, while the latest Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10) [2] is used in the United States. In this article, requirements on the high-strength bolts in slip-critical connections in these two specifications are compared to find out the differences.
