Over tightening experiments of the tension-controlled bolts are carried out and the stripping mechanism is reviewed base on the observed results. There are two modes of bolt failure due to the over tightening : one the fracture of the bolt the other the thread stripping Bifurcation between these two modes is rather delicate but it seems being related with the elastic flexibility of the bolt which depends upon the unused thread length. The fracture mode occurs in the bolts with good flexibility while the latter with bad one. According to the ISO Standard some meter coarse threads like M20 and M22 have the same pitch which causes bigger fastener to less resistance in shear and bending compared with the smaller one. however since UNC thread system adapts different pitch for different nominal diameter unified coarse threads show better stripping resistance than their corresponding meter threads.

This study is experimental research for the effect of gap at the end plate on the performance of extended end-plate type splice. For this research, simple beam type specimens by using extended end-plate type splice are planned. Main variables are the initial gap between end-plates, the installation of finger shim plate before the installation of high tension bolts, the final gap between end-plates, and the installation of finger shim plate after the installation of high tension bolts. The static loading tests results show that the maximum bending strength of splice is not dependent on the gap, but the vertical displacement, initial stiffness and elastic stiffness are affected by the gap. In addition to that, the possibility of brittle fracture is increased when the torque of high tension bolt is used to control the gap. Thus, careful consideration is needed in this case.
