EURO STRUCTURAL STEEL CONN

[Veer007]

Hey Guys, Just for clarification, if unless otherwise noted 3/4"Ø A325 bolt would be fine for AISC and CISC, But EURO, AS/NZS prefers 5/8"Ø 8.8S, is this fine? Also, structural bolt to be galvanized.

Thanks in advance!!

Regarding the Eurocodes ,

-ordinary strength steels bolts with grades 4.5, 4.6 and 5.6 are still used and high strength steel bolts with grades 8.8, 10.9 and
12.9 are available.
-In general , M 20 8.8 bolts are preferred alternative .
- Common practice Galvanized or cadmium plated ..

Are cadmium plated bolts banned?
Most industrialized countries have completely banned the use of cadmium plating. As with most other countries, the United States originally banned cadmium plating; however, the U.S. recently removed this ban. Instead, strict governmental regulations were implemented that define the disposal protocols of the rinse

Any words?

Thanks in advance!!

AS/NZS primarily uses M20-8.8/S for structural connections as a minimum. 5/8" or more correctly M16 bolts in a metric world would really only be seen for purlins or girts. Otherwise, it's almost exclusively M20's unless you need a larger size/capacity of course, then M24/M30/M36's are the preferred sizes. Grade 10.9 could be used, but grade 12.9 are a no go in NZ due to the lack of ductility.
