As per IS 800: 2007, Cl No: 10.2.3.2, the limits on Pitch in case of bolted connection are:
Maximum pitch < minimum (16t, 200 mm) → For Tension Members
Maximum pitch < minimum (12t, 200 mm) → For Compression Members
Where, t is the thickness of thinner plate.
Note:
1. The above values can be increased by 50 % if bolts are staggered and gauge distance does not exceed 75 mm.
2. Minimum Pitch = 2.5 times the nominal diameter of bolt.
