Direct Tension Indicator (DTI) is a method used to achieve the desired tension in high-strength bolts by using special washers that indicate the level of bolt tension. The design criteria for a DTI connection include determining the required bolt tension, selecting the appropriate DTI washer, verifying the connection strength and safety, and interpreting the readings… Continue reading What is the design criteria of Direct Tension Indicator (DTI) Connection? Explain in details step by step procedure of a design of Direct Tension Indicator (DTI) Connection with required formula and an example of calculation.
