Bolt Holes centres for sections



Introduction

The back mark is the distance from the back of an angle or channel web to the centre of a hole through the leg or flange.     This dimension is selected taking into account, access for tightening the bolt using an appropriate spanner, being close to centroidal axis ,and provision of required edge distance    The distance between centres of holes in flanges of joists, universal columns and Universal beams is selected to provide accessibility and acceptable edge distance.
