Experimental study on slip resistance of high strength bolted connections with corroded spliced plates on both sides

Abstract

For the maintenance of high strength bolted connections, it is required to clarify the relationship between corrosion behaviors of spliced plates and slip resistance. Therefore, various tensile tests had been performed on slip specimens with corroded spliced plates. However, it have been not yet clear that the slip resistance in high strength bolted connections with corroded spliced plates on both sides. Therefore, in this study, tensile tests are performed in order to clarify the slip resistance of high strength bolted connections with corroded spliced plates on both sides. And from the tests results, the diagnostics for corroded spliced plates on both sides of high strength bolted connections are proposed.
