High strength bolts can be firmed when steel frame alignment meets the requirements of
standard inspection. In order to make all bolts in the bolt group evenly stressed, the
general joint should be tightened from the middle sequence outward. H - type steel joints,
After the initial tightening of the bolts, further review the spacing between the columns,
the diagonal Angle and the elevation of the top of the columns After qualified, perform final
tightening. When it is finally tight, the electric wrench switch can only be pressed after all
the club heads are inserted into the inner sleeve, otherwise the bolt cannot reach the
axial force and will affect the service life of the sleeve. The final tight plum head beat
off is eligible.
All bolts must be inspected after tightening, and the joints at the joints of high-strength
bolts after passing the inspection should be corroded according to the design

requirements in time.
Before tightening the bolts, the parts to be assembled are adjusted and held in place by
means of temporary pins in sufficient numbers and filling the holes so as to prevent any
deformation of the assembly. The bolts that must enter the remaining holes are then
tightened. After this, the pins are withdrawn and replaced one by one by bolts which are
The tightening torque value to be applied are determined on the basis of bolt
As a rule, tightening must be carried out starting from the more rigid part of the assembly
and progressing toward its free part. Also the tightening may be carried out from the
Initial tightening will be done up to around 50% of required torque value. Then the
position of the nut will be marked with respect to bolt and washer.
After initial tightening all the bolts, final tightening will be done up to the required torque
value by means of calibrated torque wrench. After initial tightening the bolts plum
blossom head shall be marked with white paint to make required identification.
a) The high-strength bolt should enter the hole freely during installation and should not
be forced to hit. The washer of the high-strength twisted shear bolt is installed on one
side of the nut, and the side with chamfered corner of the washer hole shall contact
with the nut. and shall not be installed in reverse (the washer of the high-strength bolt
with large hexagon head shall be installed on one side of the bolt head and the nut
side, and the side with chamfered corner of the washer hole shall contact with the bolt
head, and
shall not be installed in reverse). Temporary bolts shall be used for steel frame beams

e) if the number of bolts is small, the tightening sequence shall be crossed; The joints
of large number of bolts must be tightened from the middle to the outside of the bolt
group.All bolts must be checked after tightening, and the connection plate at the
high-strength bolt connection after passing the inspection shall be painted anti-
f) It is carried out from the free end which is not restricted in the ground direction with high
joint stiffness.
h) Special electric wrench should be used for final twisting. Manual torque wrench can
also be used if some operation is difficult. Final twisting torque should be carried out
according to the design requirements. When using an electric wrench, the end of the
screw ends when the bolt ends, check the exposed wire buckle shall not be less than 2

completed within the same day. After the completion of the final screw joint site should
be timely anti-corrosion, joint site local gaps should be filled with mud.
n) Torque inspection should be carried out within lh - 48h after the completion of the final
twist of the connection pair of large-strength hexagon bolt. The inspection quantity
should be randomly checked by 10% according to the number of nodes, and should not
be less than 1 O;Each node selected for inspection shall be selected for 10% according
to the number of bolts, and shall not be less than 2. If the upper and lower beam joint
surface of large laminated plate beam adopts high strength large hexagon head bolt
connection pair for fastening, it shall be regarded as a group of nodes, and the number
of random inspection of each plate.beam bolt shall not be less than 20.
