This is an excellent series of lectures on bolt connections. The professor is very knowledgeable about this subject and passes along many valuable insights not found in other, primary information sources. The examples are carefully examined and answered all my questions on the big picture view of the problem and then the running of the equations. First rate job and the standard for others to follow.

Thanks very much for your positive comments, I appreciate it. I'm glad if the videos are helpful.

This entire lecture series is incredibly helpful, I consistently refer back to these videos at work when doing real world design. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these!

I'm so glad to hear that, that's why I post them here, hoping they can have a second life beyond my course.
