Structural Bolting Assembly | Würth Knowing Episode 17

Learn more about structural bolting and joint designs, and the calibrated wrench method of assembly in the second installment of Würth Knowing's Construction Industry series!
Randy Lammers is joined by Chris Tribble from Würth Construction Services for discussion and demonstration, including a demonstration of what happens when Randy drops a bolt in the mud. Spoiler alert-it doesn't turn out well!

We're glad you enjoyed it, thanks Steve!

It wouldn’t be right to say the bolt is cold and it’s cold in Minnesota without having a frost imaged edge for visual effects.
I got paid as a young buck to climb and repair microwave and tv towers and has an emergency up north. Wave-guide has different shapes but flexible with clamps was not uncommon. 32 mile East of Pierre, SD. in a company pickup & caterpillar battery, it was Zero air temp when I left and Zero when I got back to the hotel at night. A 300 foot guide tower had broken wave-guide bolts and blowing around inside a triangle of steel angle iron make me feel safer knowing ice clamps on guide wires and grade 8 bolts properly installed by union workers. It did not make it warmer but spit would freeze without movement on the towers leg. After all, the wind and snow was horizontal and at 12” off the ground fell 18 miles South. There was only 5 strands of barbed wire and 3 mail boxes to the North to slow down the wind.
Enjoyed the video guys! Thanks.

It's important to understand, extreme changes in temperature can make a difference in the torque to tension relationship. Glad you survived the freezing cold up north and I bet you have some good stories to tell.
