Abstract
The capacity of each connector type in a shear-splice type of joint is reflected by its shear strength and shear deformation characteristics. When two or more types of fasteners share the load, it is clear that it is not satisfactory to simply combine the ultimate strength of each individual fastener type. Each of the different fastening elements has a different ductility and, in general, each reaches its ultimate strength at a different value of overall connection deformation. The strength of joints that combine bolts and fillet welds that act in the same shear plane has been examined. The study has shown that the rules provided in the AISC LRFD Specification do not adequately reflect the actual strength of this type of joint. Using test results from the University of Alberta and others, expressions are presented for the capacity of the various elements that make up a bolted-welded joint. These expressions enable the capacity of a combined bolted-welded joint to be predicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The examination showed that transverse fillet welds do not work well in combination with bolts because of the limited ductility of the former.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
