Updated Bolt Spec Available

The Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC)— a nonprofit volunteer organization comprised of members in the fields of structural steel connection design, engineering, fabrication, erection and bolting—has posted errata (dated April 2015) to the August 1, 2014 RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts, along with an updated edition of the Specification, at www.boltcouncil.org.

The errata corrects a faying surface class in Section 3.2.2(3); coordinates installation of snug-tight fasteners in Section 8.1 with the definition of the term snug tight; corrects Appendix A.4.2 to reflect changes in Section 5; and corrects typographical errors.
