Thanks for sharing your thoughts. For bolts with the same diameter and pitch (UNC), would a ratio of the yield-stress be appropriate for other grades of anchors (For instance F1554 Gr 36, 55, 105 and B7/B7M studs)?
Hi There,
I'm wondering if anyone knows how to relate the turn-of-nut method for pretensioning bolts, to weaker and stronger grades than the standard A325. If a bolt has a dramatically lower, or higher yield stress than typical - shouldn't the rotation beyond snug tight be modified to attain...
Thanks for the reply. I agree completely with your logic that if it's unnecessary by design, why add it... Where it's been confusing is whether web access holes, when used, must follow the details exactly as set forth by both CSA W59 and AWS D1.1. See image below:

Hi All,
Does anyone have any advice on whether web access holes are mandatory in situations where CJP and fatigue analysis are not required? The issue I'm having, is that our beam coping machine is unable to cut-out the web underneath the flange. So the detail ends up looking like this:
