The document discusses bolts in tension and how they are used to connect structural members. It explains that bolts resist tensile forces through friction between the threads and bearing pressure against the joint. The document also outlines different failure modes for bolts in tension, including bearing failure, shear failure, and tearing of the thread. Design considerations are presented to ensure bolts do not fail under expected tensile loads.
