1160 Bolts and welds<br />

(2) Square and rectangular hollow sections<br />

If the value of n calculated is less than the change value, the plastic neutral axis<br />

is in the webs and the formula for lower values of n must be used. If n is greater<br />

than the change value, the plastic neutral axis lies in the flange and the formula<br />

for higher values of n must be used.<br />

4 Bolts and welds<br />

4.1 Bolt capacities<br />

The types of bolts covered are:<br />

• Grades 4.6, 8.8 and 10.9, as specified in BS 4190: [13] ISO metric<br />

black hexagon bolts, screws and nuts.<br />

• Non-preloaded and preloaded HSFG bolts as specified in BS<br />

4395: [14] High strength friction grip bolts and associated nuts and<br />

washers for structural engineering. Part 1: General grade and Part<br />

2: Higher grade.<br />

Preloaded HSFG bolts should be tightened to minimum shank<br />

tension (Po) as specified in BS 4604. [15]<br />

• Countersunk bolts as specified in BS 4933: [16] ISO metric black<br />

cup and countersunk bolts and screws with hexagon nuts.
