“On skewed structures, in order to accommodate differential dead load deflections of adjacent stringers that exceed ½ inch at any intermediate crossframe location, the erection bolt holes in the crossframe members should be detailed as slotted holes. Hole dimensions shall be 1/16” wider than the nominal bolt diameter and ¾” longer than the nominal bolt diameter. Holes in the stiffeners shall be 3/16” larger than the diameter of the erection bolts. Final bolting and welding shall not be completed until after the deck concrete has been placed.“
