Comparative Study on Design and Calculating Theories of High-Strength Bolted Connections with Non-Standard Holes between China and Indian

Abstract

With the development of modular, assembly steel structural engineering, engineers pay more and more attention to the high-strength bolted connections with non-standard holes, in virtue of its facilitation installation. For the design and calculation theories of such a kind of connection, the work introduces the provisions of relevant specifications between China and Indian. A detail comparison and analysis of the configuration and mechanical behaviour of the connections are presented, which can provide the readers a quick and clear idea about the design and application of this kind of connections.
