A Study on F10tw High Strength Long Bolted Joint With Filler Plates Using Nut Rotation Method

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the performance of high strength bolted joints using the nut rotation method.
• Conducted experiments on high strength bolted joints with varying bolt lengths and filler plates.
• Performed axial force tests and relaxation tests to assess joint integrity.
• Investigated the necessary nut rotation angles to maintain design axial forces.
• Identified effective nut rotation angles that satisfy the design axial force even after relaxation.
• Established performance metrics for slip resistance under different configurations of bolt length and filler plate presence.
