Janson Bridging tightens the longitude and transverse beams of their bridge systems through a bolted joint which is partly used as a preloaded bolted joint.

Screws (72) extend through the bores (64) and form a clamping connection when they are screwed with threaded strips (74) mounted in the grooves.

With the use of a special fastener, one can gain a better understating of the load transfer mechanism involved in a bolted joint.

A bolted connector includes a bulk head (12) for connection to a column and a plate (14) extending from the bulk head (12) for connection to a beam.

The coupling can preferably be bolted.

The invention also relates to a bolted joint.

The connection assembly comprises a male connector and a female connector.

A bolted connector includes a bulk head (12) for connection to a column and a plate (14) extending from the bulk head (12) for connection to a beam.

The first joint is substantially a right angle joint and the second joint is a radiused joint.

The connector assembly includes a transfer set connector and a disposable connector.

The adjacent sections are connected with the aid of a bolt flange joint (13, 14) comprising at least two centring pins which are located in coaxial through holes embodied along the circumference of the adjacent flanges (13, 14).

The connector has a connector passage.
