According to the report from China External Standards, a standard passed by Russia on the use of high-strength bolts for bridges was implemented in January 2011.

In 2009, the Ministry of Standards and Technology of the Russian Federation adopted the GOST P 53664-2009 national standard for high-strength bolts for bridges, and related standards for nuts and washers.

At the same time, the Russian scientific research center SRC Mosty also issued a standard document concerning steel structure detachable joints on bridges using bolts.

Both the standard literature and the standard for high-strength bolts for bridges were implemented in January. Both standards are based on new scientific research and the development of engineering designs, carried out by the Russian Scientific Research Center SRC Mosty, and validated in bridge construction. The two standards aim to improve the safety and security in the construction process, reduce labor intensity, improve work processes and reduce environmental impact.

It is understood that this type of connection through the combination of tapered high-strength bolts and round heads has a load capacity of 1.5 to 3 times that of straight shank bolts through frictional connections; the number of bolts at the bolt-to-hole junction can be reduced, and the number of bolts can be reduced. The labor intensity of production and installation.
