Injection bolts prevent slip in bolted connections
conference paper
When slip is not allowed in bolted connections loaded in shear either slip resistant connections with preloaded bolts or fitted bolts are used. Injection bolts have proved to be a reliable and relative cheap alternative. Injection bolts are bolts in which the cavity produced by the clearance between the bolt and the wall of the hole is completely filled up with a two component resin. Rules for injection bolts have been included in the new European standards for constructional steelwork. In this paper details of this system and the field of application are presented. Also the design rules are shortly dicussed. Finally examples of successful application are given.
