Specification for structural joints using highstrength bolts, august 1, 2014 research council on structural connections. When used in a slip critical joint with a long grip, the smaller threaded bolt area in the entire grip affects the relationship between the clamping force and bolt elongation and may result in a reduction in clamping force when using the turnofnut installation method. The slip critical service load is maintained for 1,000 h, and if the slip exceeds 0. A structures strength depends on proper use of these connection methods bolting and welding may be used for shop connections and field connections welding is better suited to the controlled environment of a fabrication shop olting is more field friendlyalthough not necessarily a better connection. The rcsc guide suggests that slipcritical joints should be designed to prevent slip under service load conditions and. Slip critical joint, from structural engineering, is a type of bolted structural steel connection which relies on friction between the two connected elements rather than bolt shear or bolt bearing to join two structural elements.
