"... in previous Unbonded Brace tests we used an electric torque wrench to tighten the high-strength bolts in the slip-critical connections, not entirely successfully, with slip occurring in several tests. In our most recent test program, however, we used DTIs and got no slip at all - the DTIs worked very well."
