But now it’s being supported by bolts; I don’t understand it. Some diagrams even state that “bolts should be used for leveling”. I’ve seen this kind of installation before, but it wasn’t considered an important step. It’s become common to see this lately; even the tower foundations are like this. It was only after strong protests that the tower foundations were reinforced. . . . Special Release
Bolt connections are commonly used for the connection and installation of steel structures and concrete structures. This type of connection provides sufficient strength and stability, while also facilitating the disassembly and reconstruction of the structure. In actual construction, adjusting the prestress of bolts is a very important step. By applying appropriate pre-stress, the tightness and stability of the bolted connection can be ensured, allowing the structure to withstand the corresponding loads. However, in some cases, due to design or construction reasons, it may be impossible to apply prestress to the bolts, and they can only be used as supports. This may pose potential risks to the stability and safety of the structure. Therefore, the installation of bolted connections should be carried out strictly in accordance with design requirements and construction specifications, to ensure the application and adjustment of prestress and thus guarantee the reliability and safety of the structure. If connection problems are detected, measures should be taken promptly to repair and reinforce them in order to ensure the stability and integrity of the structure. In summary, during the connection and installation of steel structures and concrete structures, the application of prestress is a very important step that requires special attention to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure. At the same time, close attention should also be paid to quality control during the construction process to ensure the stability of the connections and the quality of installation. .
