DETAILINGS FOR BOLTS:

AISC Specification J3.3 indicates that the minimum distance (s) between the centers of bolt holes is 2 d b . A distance of 3db is preferred
AISC Specification J3.5 indicates maximum edge distance for bolt holes is 12 times the thickness of the connected part (but not more than 150mm).
For painted or unpainted members not subject to corrosion, The maximum spacing for bolt holes is 24 times the thickness of the thinner part
(but not more than 300mm).

For painted or unpainted members atmospheric subject to corrosion, The maximum spacing for bolt holes is 14 times the thickness of the thinner part
(but not more than 175mm).
