When it is apparent that there may be a loss of friction in slip-critical bolted connection (which occurs in some type of brackets and hangers subject to tension and shear) […]
Design of slip-critical bolted connection assumes that the fastener, under high initial tensioning, develops frictional resistance between the connected parts, preventing slippage despite external load.
