AISC & RCSC Turn-of-Nut (Part Turn)
Note: As with every bolt pretensioning method, Turn-of-Nut may only be performed after all steel plies in a connection have been drawn into firm contact, i.e. snug-tightened. Failure to do so will result in inadequate bolt pretension and loose connections. Also, The Pre-installation Verification fastener testing must be conducted per applicable RCSC sections with the caveat that Turn-of-Nut verification may not verified by Direct Tension Indicator verification (RCSC 48).
Turn-of-Nut is performed by rotating the nut or bolt of a fastener assembly a specific turn angle based on the fastener's length, and diameter while restraining the unturned element from rotating.
Installation - How to perform Turn-of-Nut on a single fastener assembly:
- Determine the ratio between the fastener's length and diameter as well as the slope disposition of the outer steel plies.
- Apply the specified turn from the appropriate table, while the unturned element is restrained from rotation (usually requiring a second installer).
- Rotation exceeding the table below may not be corrected or reworked except by replacing the fastener assembly.
For reference, table 8.2 from the Research Council on Structural Connection's (RCSC) Specification for Structural Joints Using High Strength Bolts, 2014, appears below:
The inspector must:
- Verify pre-installation verification has been performed.
- Verify the joint has been snug-tightened.
- Verify the original position of all elements.
- Routinely witness the installation crew actually turning the nuts/bolts.
- Verify the final rotated position of all elements.
- Prohibit excessive rotation discovered or witnessed from being adjusted to reflect turn values from table 8.2.
While it is recommended that the bolt, nut, and steel be marked and inspected prior to Turn-of-Nut implementation, this step is not mandatory. In any case, failure to inspect nuts in their original (snug), un-turned position will result in unverifiable Turn-of-Nut execution. Nut marking does not relieve an inspector's responsibility to inspect the connection twice, before and after the turn.
Advisories:Ineffective for some bolts, The Guide:
Users of large diameter high-strength bolts, especially A490 bolts, should be aware that the RCSC specification requirement for installation of short grip bolts may not produce the required preload [pretension]. If such bolts are to be used in a slip-resistant joint [i.e., slip critical and pre-tensioned], calibration tests in a load-indicating device are advisable. (Kulak 59)Hot Dipped Galvanizing, RCSC:
Some problems with the turn-of-nut pretensioning method have been encountered with hot-dip galvanized bolts. (RCSC 60)Bolt Lubrication too effective or absent, RCSC:
Specification requirements for minimum turns testing of galvanized fasteners. Job-site testing in the tension calibrator demonstrated that the lubricant reduced the coefficient of friction between the bolt and nut to the degree that "the full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary spud wrench" to snug-tighten the joint actually induced the full required pretension. Also, because the nuts could be removed with an ordinary spud wrench, they were erroneously judged by the inspector to be improperly pretensioned. Excessively lubricated high-strength bolts may require significantly less torque to induce the specified pretension. The required pre-installation verification will reveal this potential problem.RCSC section 9.1 snug-tightened inspection criteria flawed:
Conversely, the absence of lubrication or lack of proper over-tapping can cause seizing of the nut and bolt threads, which will result in a twist failure of the bolt at less than the specified pretension. (RCSC 61)
RCSC section 9.2.1 requires the inspector to witness one element being rotated relative to the other. If not, improper tension may result if an installation crew only applies the minimum amount of snug-tightening per section 9.1, Snug Tightened Joints:
9.1 ...It shall be determined that all of the bolts in the joint have been tightened sufficiently to prevent the turning of the nuts without the use of a wrench. No further evidence of conformity is required for snug-tightened joints.
If only hand tightening is used as a snug inspection criterion, it is possible for Turn-of-Nut's initial starting point, (i.e. adequate snug) will not be achieved and the method will fail. Such failures will not depend on whether fasteners were marked or not.
Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, i.e. CISC, Turn-of-NutInstallation:
The CISC Turn-of-Nut installation method is similar to AISC/RCSC Turn-of-Nut with a few exceptions.
- Required turn values are the same when both faces normal as well as when one face is sloped 1:20.
- 3/4 turn to be applied to all instances, when both faces sloped 1:20.
- The acceptable rotation tolerance is ±30°.
- Beveled washers are required when either steel ply is sloped 1:20 Max when using ASTM A490 and A490M bolts.
- CISC Turn Table 8 does not limit itself to 12" maximum bolt length, as the RCSC does.
- When both surfaces sloped 1:20 max, all bolts rotated 3/4 turn (RCSC requires length dependent turn values).
For a complete turn details, please refer to the Nut Rotation from Snug-Tight Condition table within the latest CISC Handbook of Steel Construction.2Inspection:
The inspector must:
- Verify pre-installation verification of all assemblies has been performed.
- Verify the joint has been snug-tightened.
- Verify the original position of all elements.
- Verify the final rotated position of all elements.
- Routinely witness the installation crew actually turning the nuts/bolts.
- Prohibit excessive rotation discovered or witnessed from being adjusted to reflect turn values from the applicable table within the CISC handbook.
While it is recommended that the bolt, nut, and steel be marked and inspected prior to Turn-of-Nut implementation, this step is not mandatory. In any case, failure to inspect nuts in their original (snug), un-turned position will result in unverifiable Turn-of-Nut execution. Nut marking does not relieve an inspector's responsibility to inspect the connection twice, before and after the turn.
CISC Advisories:
See advisories for AISC & RCSC.Additional Advisories:
While the CISC does not specifically require Pre-installation Verification testing of all fasteners when using Turn-of-Nut per se, testing is recommended to assure hardware compliance with the appropriate ASTM Specification. Thread failure (stripping) will not be discernible otherwise.
Figure 1: Ideal marking technique clearly indicating 1/3rd turn, However, the three bolts on the left are ready for initial inspection; the three on the right appear turned but it is impossible to know if they were turned or marked to appear turned.
Figure 2: These four nuts appear to have been turned although the exact angle is not obvious since the lines extend completely through the bolts' diameters. Nevertheless, without inspection of their initial position, turn or whether the joint was properly snug-tightened, induced pretension cannot be verified.
Figure 3: Obvious deception attempt. While markings suggest each nut or bolt has been rotated, the nut appears to be in its initial position suggesting bolt rotation. It is unlikely the bolts were rotated relative to the nuts since the washers are under the nuts, meaning the hex heads of the bolts would need to be rotated directly against the painted steel surface. A difficult endeavor, that would be exaggerated by the additional effort required to perform proper Turn-of-Nut in the first place. The gap along the upper flange also implies incomplete snug-tightening.

In his new book, Claiming Christ, Professor Robert Millet, in dialogue with Evangelical scholar Gerald McDermott about the commonalities and differences of Mormonism and the varieties of Evangelical Christianity, makes the observation that the notion of labeling Latter-day Saints as "not Christian†is a fashion that became widespread only about twenty years ago.

Integrating Elites into the Church
While watching last weekend's General Conference, with the sustaining of President Monson and the calling of new people into Church leadership, one of the things I felt is how fortunate the Church is to have as its leaders men and women who have achieved significantly in many walks of life. This is in contrast to most other denominations, where people with these skills would be excluded from formal church leadership. For example, what other church has attorneys in its most senior leadership?
What's Wrong with Ancient Research in Mormon Studies
Mormon Studies has become a relic area for outdated ideas about texts and their transmission. That becomes clear in reading a number of contributions to Early Christians in Disarray: Contemporary LDS Perspectives on the Christian Apostasy (FARMS, 2005)
Graven Images: The hunger for an authentic image of Joseph
Ardis Parshall has presented in previous postings "The CSI Effect and Mormon Historyâ€, 3/20/2008, and "And Yet Another Joseph Smith Photograph", 4/1/2008, arresting images that have, at first glance, an arguable relationship to our known historical depictions of the Prophet Joseph Smith, but turn out, on further research, to have no chance of being what we wish they were. In commenting on Ardis' second post (#14, #48), I pointed out the reasons why there are likely to be a great many old images that resemble our mental image of the Prophet, and why it would be extremely difficult to verify any of them as a real image of Joseph.
An Ethics of Teaching
I'm reading a short book that reviews what one might call the virtues of teaching: learning, authority, ethics, order, imagination, compassion, patience, character, and pleasure. Each virtue (which might be though of as an aspect of the character of an ideal teacher) is reviewed in its own chapter. The ethics chapter suggested an interesting question to me: Is there an LDS ethics of teaching that differs in any particulars from a Christian or secular ethics of teaching?
And Yet Another Joseph Smith Photograph
The April 1st posting of this article may tempt you to think this is an April Fool's prank. I wish it were. It is not.

This is a big week for Mormon Studies on the Wasatch Front, with events at the University of Utah, Utah Valley State College, Westminster College, and BYU.

Joy and Anguish
Should a psychologically healthy person be happy, cheerful, carefree? If you are not cheerful is there something wrong with you? Let's see what Mormon scripture has to say.
More depressing news
Today's news carries a deja vu article: Surveys show high rates of depression in Utah, and some psychiatrists wonder if Mormon culture is part of the cause. (The story runs under a pretty direct illustration that shows an apparently depressed woman and a photo of the temple in the background.)
Theology and the Public Square in Utah
The Salt Lake Tribune recently ran a column written by Grant Palmer arguing that Christian salvation turns not on the performance of ordinances but rather on an ethical life. Theologically speaking, the article (as Dave has pointed out nicely) is a pretty pedestrian, anti-sacramental, and essentially Protestant reading of the New Testament. The really interesting question raised by the article is not its theology, but rather what it is doing on the editorial page of an mainstream, secular newspaper. I think that we can safely dismiss the notion that the column was published because the Trib has taken it upon itself to launch a public discussion of Christian soteriology and New Testament hermeneutics. Perhaps the folks at the Trib editorial page think that a decent interest in the eternal salvation of their readers is part of their public function, but I doubt it. So what gives?
A Sample Of Mormon Donors
Mormons contributed to Mitt Romney's campaign over the past year and half in some pretty eye-popping numbers (see, e.g., here and here). As such, I decided to comb through the campaign finance contribution records to see who exactly some prominent Mormons were donating to this past election cycle.
Apostasy is Back on the Bookshelf
Once upon a time, The Great Apostasy by Elder James E. Talmage was on every Mormon's reading list. But somehow that topic went out of fashion for a couple of decades — no LDS books treated the subject and it received considerably less attention in General Conference talks. Suddenly, the Great Apostasy seems to be back.
The Church Historian's Press and the Argument in Favor of Mordred
The Church issued a press release today annoucing the creation of a "Church Historian's Press" to handle the publication of the Joseph Smith Papers. (The press release also mentioned "works related to the church's history and growth.") I am not quite sure what the rationale for this is. Previous volume of the papers were published by Deseret Book, which did a nice enough job, although of late the physical publication standards at Deseret Book have been falling. Perhaps the new imprint is to insure library quality production values. Maybe it just reduces administrative hassle to have the production done in-house, particularlly in light of the way that technology has been dropping the costs of publishing. Or perhaps something bigger is afoot.

Bloggernacle in the News
In the online Deseret News: "Today in the Bloggernacle," with links to posts at BCC, Nine Moons, and Millennial Star. I've seen similar posts in recent weeks (such as here and here) under different titles but with the same format, so this appears to be a new regular feature. Just one more reason to check spelling and grammar before you hit the "post" button.
Book Review: Bound on Earth
Angela Hallstrom's debut novel, Bound on Earth, is worth reading.
Living with Another's Agency
How often do you want to "fix things" for someone you love because you (think you) see so much more clearly than he does?
Great Sermons: Out of Obscurity
This talk was given early on in Elder Maxwell's time as an Apostle and I think it is an excellent example of what I liked about him. "Granted, there is not full correlation among the four Gospels about the events and participants at the empty garden tomb. Yet the important thing is that the tomb was empty, because Jesus had been resurrected! Essence, not tactical detail!"
Why Did God Give Contradictory Commandments?
The temple treats the Garden story as a universal story. Whatever the reason for that, you can make a good case that in some sense each of us has been in the Garden and fallen. In fact, as we've discussed here before, making the Garden story a universal story can make sense of the contradictory commandments God gave Adam and Eve.
Interpretation: Latter-day Saint Perspectives
Little Zions
Today was our stake conference, and we had a visiting general authority: Elder Terrence C. Smith, one of the North American Area Seventies. His talk was one of the finest, most doctrinally insightful sermons I've ever heard at a stake conference. But what really caught me came in the first minute of his talk. He's Canadian, specifically an Albertan, and he mentioned being from a little town "that's probably 90% LDS." That's interesting, I thought.
Love on Campus
It's just not what it used to be, even at the BYU, as shown in a day-before-Valentine's-Day BYU NewsNet article, "The Evolution of Human Love."

Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Yard and Garden
The snow and ice have melted, but this winter's wild storms have left yards across the country in need of a major spring-cleaning. Here are some ideas for how to begin, inspired by the hyper-organized folks at Uncluttered:
1. Remove the debris. If the winter's seemingly incessant wind, rain, and snow have done a number on your trees, start your clean-up efforts by collecting the fallen branches and scattered sticks. If your town doesn't pick up lawn debris on a regular basis, find out if any spring collection days have been planned or if there's a nearby drop-off location you can deliver it to. You also can rent a wood-chipper from many garden or hardware stores and turn your debris into mulch.
2. Rake dead leaves and twigs. Last year's leaves will make great compost, but not if they keep the grass from absorbing sunlight. Thoroughly rake the yard and garden beds and, if you don't plan to compost, investigate whether your town will be making special arrangements to collect bagged leaves.
3. Prune and trim. Prune back weatherworn bushes and hedges as well as any perennials that look overgrown. Trim damaged tree limbs and branches that you can reach, and make arrangements for a professional tree-trimmer to take care of the rest.
4. Map out landscaping and garden plans. If you're going to make any changes to your current landscaping, make a sketch of your lawn indicating what sort of trees, shrubs, or plants you'd like to add. Even for DIY types, it's always a good idea to consult with a gardener or landscaper at the nursery before making any final decisions or purchases.
5. Start planting. Check the planting dates on your new purchases. Any plants, trees or shrubbery hearty enough to survive early spring's still-cool nights can be put in the ground now.

This is a penis enlargement bible review page. If what you are interested in is the official site of the product then click here now. However, my advice is that you read the whole review in order to make informed decision. The obvious reason why you are here on CRITA is because you want to improve yourself sexually with enlarged penis size. The open truth is that the size of the penis matters to the female folds though they might not confess that to you as a man openly.
You can only give her vagina orgasm with a big penis size. You will agree with me that a few females fake orgasm in order to make the guys feel good. However, recent disturbing reports indicate that females tend to look for guys that will give them sexual satisfaction. To any lady, reaching climax after sex is the ultimate desire and goal. However, do you have what it takes to give her this pleasure?
If you do not have what it takes to give your wife or girlfriend the sexual pleasure she desires then you may be in trouble! Let me talk about the product under review. penis enlargement bible is a manual that contains various penis enlargement exercises that could be implemented to achieve the ultimate goal of making the penis bigger naturally.
First of all, let me ask you if you ever believe that you could increase the size of your penis after passing the puberty stage? Even if it's possible, what about making the penis bigger through some natural exercises? Do you feel that is possible? These are questions asked by individuals who are a bit conservative and skeptical about the whole topic of penis enlargement. Notwithstanding, the answer is YES, it is possible! What about penis enlargement bible? Could it make you get a bigger penis? Yes, but with pros and cons.
The Cons
1) Reading the e- book is time consuming. It could literally take you some hours or even few days to finish reading the book depending on how fast you want to get results
2) These are natural exercises that will require time, focus, discipline and dedication to implement.
The Pros
1) It helps you to get significant increase in the size of the penis. This is safe and effective. All that is required is your hand to implement these enlargement exercises.
2) Bonus e-book ''Best Sex Tips'' worth $97 and lifetime updates
3) The guide is cheap (the price is $47) compare to extenders, surgeries, pump and pills which is quite expensive
4) 60 day money back guarantee
Benefits And Results

Frank and Alice Longbottom suffered a terrible fate. It is not one to wish on even your worst enemy. Maybe their fate was written in the stars, and maybe it wasn't. But, before it happened, pre-set or not, they had a life. They shared a story together. You know how it ends. Do you know how it goes?
My take on how events may pan out in book seven. Spoilers from all previous HP books.
The events of the previous year have brought home to Harry the realization of what has to be done, and the knowledge that it must be done alone. Now as he sets off on his final quest, making new acquaintances along the way, he must bring all his knowledge and skill to bear in his effort to destroy Lord Voldemort. But will it be enough, or is there something that he has missed which might prove to be his undoing?

weather and took a 40min stroll down ...
Australia. Melbourne to Brisbane
... at Port Macquarie and I took to the wheel. Up until then Charlie had done all the driving. We didn't stop for long at Port Macquarie as there was little point because the rain was coming down so hard and we were getting the tail end of this Cyclone from up north. The road wasn't great to drive and after I saw one dead kangaroo in the middle of the road I was paranoid one would jump out at me in the middle of the road! We finally arrived at about 8pm to the Beachlander motel where we ...
The only paradise here comes in slices of eight...
... name, it better well be just that! As you can probably already tell from my tone... I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Ok, in the beachside resort's defence... The sky was grey and overcast, with threatening showers (which did indeed eventually launch an attack a few hours later), so this didn't exactly help brighten up the place. But man, does this place need a bit of brightening up. Crikey. I'm not even over-exaggerating.... ...
Brisbane - The day without navigation
... up and all, our Westfield shopping mall :-))). This was after an hour driving. Ok ladies and gentlemen be sure when you have plans to go to Australia and you go to Brisbane ask for Westfield shopping mall because they have Westfield bank here as well. Very important detail :) We had some lunch loaded up the Internet and than up to surfers paradise And I've to say I was a bit shocked it looked like a big city so many skyscrapers and full of ...

The stories of two sisters, who are as different from each other as they can be, are the threads that weave together this multi-themed novel about love, loss, and family ties. What makes The Cookbook Collector unusual is not that it follows several plotlines, but that the plotlines arelike the sistersso vastly different from each other. The fact that Goodman is able to tie them together is to her credit.
The chapters focusing on elder sister Emily, who is running a start-up tech company in Boston during the dot-com era, are fast-paced, mirroring Emily's high energy lifestyle and the rocket-fast rise of her data security business. Emily has lived a pressured life since the death of their mother when she and Jess were young, and has grown up practical, protective, and overly critical of Jess. Emily is financially successful now, but she and her steady and ...

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
The band's next album, 2013's Calendar Days, was recorded at a beach house on Phillip Island, and when released received warm reviews. Soon afterward, the band set off on a worldwide tour that included slots at big festivals (Laneway, Golden Plains) in Australia. That same year they did a split single with Lower Plenty for Matador's Singles Going Home Alone series, then in July of 2014 issued a single ("New Name Blues") for Fruits & Flowers. Keeping with tradition, their next record was recorded in another out-of-the-way locale, this time a former sheep-shearing shed in Apollo Bay, Victoria. Released in early 2015, Melbourne Florida was their first album to be released by a U.S. label, Trouble in Mind, as well as by Chapter. Thanks to the album's success and Dick Diver's growing popularity in the States, due in part to their extensive touring for the record, Trouble in Mind reissued their first two album there in early 2016. ~ Tim Sendra

What was your favorite wedding photo?
My favorite photo is of my husband and I as we took a moment to ourselves.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
She was great with everything!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
We received an engagement session, a disc containing photos and a canvas with our wedding package.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
We contracted with Brittany Kunsman Photography to photograph our wedding. Instead we got amazing memories and also a new person to call a friend!
She was not only an amazing photographer but also a support system on our day.
I will (and do) recommend her to everyone!

Nice prime lens
Bought this to use with my A330 camera, I had heard about faster/prime lenses but never thought I would need one. I cant believe I went this long with out it, this lens is great for low light no flash situations & portraits. I love it!! This has really made a huge difference for me, I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for better low light & portrait photos.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? It was exactly as shown
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seems to be manufactured with quality materials

Grammar of Society by Cristina Bicchieri
Book DescriptionIn The Grammar of Society, first published in 2006, Cristina Bicchieri examines social norms, such as fairness, cooperation, and reciprocity, in an effort to understand their nature and dynamics, the expectations that they generate, and how they evolve and change. Drawing on several intellectual traditions and methods, including those of social psychology, experimental economics and evolutionary game theory, Bicchieri provides an integrated account of how social norms emerge, why and when we follow them, and the situations where we are most likely to focus on relevant norms. Examining the existence and survival of inefficient norms, she demonstrates how norms evolve in ways that depend upon the psychological dispositions of the individual and how such dispositions may impair social efficiency. By contrast, she also shows how certain psychological propensities may naturally lead individuals to evolve fairness norms that closely resemble those we follow in most modern societies.

Stack advice
Stack advice
I'm currently on a JW/BAM stack. I ran JW stand alone for 2 weeks @ 3x/day. Then added BAM on week 3. I have one more week of JW left and 3 weeks of BAM remaining. My original thought was to use 6-oxo extreme at the end of the stack, but seeing ALRI suggest Restore with BAM for two weeks and two weeks as a stand alone I wonder if I should run the 6 oxo the same way.
By the way, I'm running a liver support with this stack and I've experienced very little sides. Mainly some lethargy and a little loss of libido, but not much at all. Gains are good. I'm extremely happy. I'm 37 years old, been lifting for a long time and still play a variety of sports. I wanted something to give me more alpha male mentality and maintain my LBM and get a little leaner. JW/BAM has definitely helped. I'm only up 2 lbs., but my muscle fullness and strength are way up.
The only thing outside of creatine, protein and NoX I've tried is T-bomb and 6 oxo and I didn't get much out of Tbomb. So I'm easily impressed with my results.
