<strong>Steel</strong> <strong>Designers</strong>' <strong>Manual</strong> - 6th Edition (2003)<br />

674 Bolts<br />

large and thick to span the hole. Large diameter washers to BS 4320 10 may be<br />

required.<br />

Normal clearance holes as given for ordinary bolts are usually used for HSFG<br />

fasteners (see BS 5950-1 Table 36), but it is permissible to use oversize, short or long<br />

slotted holes provided standard hardened washers are used over the holes in the<br />

outer plies and not just under the turned part (see clause 6.4.6.2).<br />

Oversize and short slotted holes may be used in all plies but long slotted holes<br />

may only be used in one single ply in any connection. If a long slotted hole occurs<br />

in an outer ply it should be covered with a washer plate longer than the slot and at<br />

least 8 mm thick.<br />

The assessment of the slip resistance is affected when oversize or slotted holes<br />

are used. The constant Ks (clause 6.4.2 of BS 5950), which is 1.0 for bolts in clearance<br />

holes, is reduced to 0.85 and 0.7 as given in paragraph 23.5.2.<br />

23.3.2 Spacing of fasteners, end and edge distances<br />

Spacing is covered fully in Section 6.2 of BS 5950-1:2000, summarized as follows:<br />
