Conversely the absence of lubrication or lack of proper over tapping can cause seizing of the nut and bolt threads which will result in a twist failure of the bolt at less than the specified pretension AISC RCSC 61 AISC RCSC section 9 1 snug tightened inspection criteria flawed AISC RCSC section 9 2 1 requires the inspector to witness one element being rotated relative
For a bolted joint with a tapped hole if the material of tapped hole has lower strength than the bolt the thread engagement length should be at least equal to Q in order to prevent the stripping of internal thread before the failure of bolt If the thread engagement length is less then Q the magnitude of the bolt preload must be reduced Equivalently there are three failures to

A good rule to follow is to always use the shortest standard length fastener that gives a minimum one thread protrusion Small and or short bolts come in 1 8 or 1 4 inch increments As the fastener gets larger and longer the increments change to 1 2 inch Up to a five thread protrusion from a fastener is certainly reasonable you shouldn t take a hacksaw to it for that but if you
American Institute of Steel Construction Sufficient Thread Engagement The 2000 RCSC bolt specification in the 3rd Edition LRFD Manual defines sufficient thread engagement as having the end of the bolt extending beyond or at least flush with the outer face of the nut That is easy to determine for ASTM A325 and A490 bolts

What is the minimum required thread engagement when threading a 2H nut on a stud or bolt Answer API Spec 6A makes no specific requirement for stud bolt threads to extend beyond a nut but rather requires that the stud bolt shall have full thread engagement equal to one times the outside diameter of the stud bolt within either a tapped hole or a 2H nut
