240 WELDS [Comm. J2.the base metal requirement for Group 4 and 5 shapes. Research continues on thissubject.7. Mixed Weld MetalProblems can occur when incompatible weld metals are used in combination andnotch-tough composite weld metal is required. For instance, tack welds depositedusing a self-shielded process with aluminum deoxidizers in the electrodes and subsequentlycovered by SAW weld passes can result in composite weld metal withlow notch-toughness, despite the fact that each process by itself could providenotch-tough weld metal.J3. BOLTS AND THREADED PARTS1. High-Strength BoltsIn general, the use of high-strength bolts is required to conform to the provisions ofthe Load and Resistance Factor Design Specification for Structural Joints UsingASTM A325 or A490 Bolts (RCSC, 1994) as approved by the Research Council onStructural Connections.Occasionally the need arises for the use of high-strength bolts of diameters andlengths in excess of those available for A325 or A325M and A490 or A490M bolts,as for example, anchor rods for fastening machine bases. For this situation SectionA3.3 permits the use of A449 bolts and A354 threaded rods.With this edition of the Specification snug-tightened installation is permitted forstatic applications involving ASTM A325 or A325M bolts (only) in tension orcombined shear and tension. Figures C-J3.1 and C-J3.2 illustrate the results of testingby Johnson (1996) on tee stubs bolted flange-to-flange with two ASTM A325bolts. This testing involved two lengths (2 3 4 in. and 3 1 4 in.) (70 mm and 83 mm) andseveral combinations of installed pretension (finger-tight, snug-tight, andpretensioned). The 2 3 4-in. (70 mm) bolt length corresponds to the least number ofthreads remaining in the grip. The 3 1 4-in. (83 mm) bolt length corresponds to themaximum number of threads remaining in the grip. As evidenced by the data, theinstallation condition does not affect the ultimate strength.Fracture Load (kips)1009080706050403020100FT/FT FT/FT FT/ST FT/PT ST/ST ST/ST ST/PT PT/PT PT/PTFig. C-J3.1.
