Apex Connection - Ver W2.3.00 - 12 Mar 2007 Title : Example Code of Practice : SABS 0162 - 1993 Created : 3/16/2012 12:42:17 PM Notes and Assumptions
1 2 3 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes. All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes. It is assumed that the connection is deep enough for the flanges to resist the compressive and tensile forces in them.
