[QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3367995, member: 6809"]
tomcat -[B] just took a look at your pic on page 191[/B] of a very well defined shot of a girder clearly showing the ends of the girder specifically the flanges where there are pre - drilled holes for the bolts to fit through this time both girder flanges. It's hard to determine the size due to there being no scale, ( crew standing next to the girder)but these things are huge and I thought theholes would be larger for larger diameter bolts. However the count is [B]horizontally 23 x 2 = 46[/B] and [B]16 vertically x 2 =32[/B],[B]total nuts and bolts per flange = 78[/B]. They must be very large in diameter to make a very secure, tight fit. Since we're at the Golden Girder I wanted to be non - stressed as possible in what the two girders will be joined by exactly and your pic allowed that. Do you agree? Do you know the diameter? 2" - 3" dia. bolts for the nuts to thread onto? If my figures are correct there will be 156 fasteners total counting each end.
