Installation

• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
• All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit
• Maximum 11 7/8″ bottom chord in the carrying member to allow for the minimum bolt end distance
• Bolts must be installed symmetrically when fewer than the maximum number of bolts are used on the backplate
• Girders must have adequate lateral bracing to prevent excessive displacement due to secondary torsional stresses (refer to ANSI/TPI 1-2014 Section 7.5.3.5)
