Shall I call you Logan, Weapon X???
I have been working some steel problems in both SERM (4th Edition) and also in "Seismic Design Review for the PE Exam" (6th Edition)--Kaplan book.
I have run into a couple problems involving tension connections and trying to determine the effective area. In both SERM (Pg 4-30) and "Seismic Design" (Pg 195) the author (Alan Williams) says that dh = db + 1/8" for use in the determination of the effective area......both books reference the Steel Construction Manual (AISC) Section D 3.2 and Table J3.3-->however, when I go to these sections, the best that I can figure out is that the bolt hole should be 1/16" greater and not 1/8".
I'm just curious if the 1/8" is a flub that wasn't updated with the new version of the Steel Design Manual or if I'm missing something :reading:
