Sometimes in these situations, surface protection of the steel structure is usually designed using hot-dip galvanizing to improve its durability. In these special circumstances, the structure\u2019s connections are also exposed to adverse climatic agents. International standards and codes such as Eurocode 3 or EN1090-2 do not provide indications for these cases. In this experimental research, 24 specimens of non-slip joints with hot-dip galvanized faying surfaces and HV M16 and M20 bolts have been studied. Twelve specimens were subjected to fourteen twelve-hour freeze-thaw cycles, with temperature oscillation and periodic immersion in water. Next, six of the connections were subjected to a slip test under monotonic load at a temperature of \u221220 \u00b1 0.5 \u00b0C and the other six at room temperature. The results were compared with joints kept at room temperature and not subjected to freeze-thaw cycles for the same period of time. The main conclusion of this piece of research is that the short-term slip resistance behavior of joints with hot-dip galvanized surfaces is not reduced for the cases studied.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18010084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,1]],"date-time":"2025-01-01T14:35:42Z","timestamp":1735742142000},"page":"84","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Slip-Resistant Connections with Hot-Dip Galvanized Faying Surface Under Freeze-Thaw Cycles and\/or Low Temperature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Fuente Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic School of Engineering, Campus de Viesques, University of Oviedo, 33203 Gij\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7864-5859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Serrano L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic School of Engineering, Campus de Viesques, University of Oviedo, 33203 Gij\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6802-7117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"L\u00f3pez-Colina P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic School of Engineering, Campus de Viesques, University of Oviedo, 33203 Gij\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9552-6931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"L\u00f3pez Gayarre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Polytechnic School of Engineering, Campus de Viesques, University of Oviedo, 33203 Gij\u00f3n, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2011).
