High-strength bolts are used in the construction of many steel structures. For a 24-mm nominal-diameter bolt the required minimum bolt tension is 210 kN. Assuming the coefficient of friction to be 0.40, determine the required couple that should be applied to the bolt and nut. The mean diameter of the thread is 22.6 mm. and the lead is 3 mm. Neglect friction between the nut and washer, and assume the bolt to be square-threaded.
