I was involved in a project where that was done. As I remember, the
bolts were snapping and breaking, but I don't remember what the failure
mechanism was (tension, shear, etc.). The contractor ended up welding
the connections.
Drew,
I hope the contractor heated the ambient temperature per AWS before he
welded.
