One bolt double shear connection in lieu of 2-bolt AISC?

[struct_eeyore]

I've got an HSS i've got to connect to an embed at the face of the building. I'd really like to limit moment as much as possible, and am thinking of using a single bolt, 2-tab/double shear connection. Does anybody know if I'm going to run afoul with AISC here? gravity load is not particularly heavy (~8k)

A single bolt does not prevent moment in one direction, i.e. where the moment vector is parallel to the bolt.

BA, I'm not worried about the other direction, as the hss is restrained by a slab. Mostly concerned with the z axis to prevent shear stud pull out.

Regardless of the number of bolts, there will be moment due to the eccentricity between the bolt line and the face of the embed. If you can get it to work, I would use a regular 2 bolt shear tab connection. On the beam side, you can weld the tab to a cap plate on the end of the HSS.

Sockless - I'm not too concerned about the eccentric moment, rather about the possibility of developing a fully fixed connection.

You'll run afoul of OSHA at least
