description The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of atmospheric conditions on the tightening behaviour of HV bolts in structural bolt sets. The article describes the results of experimental tests carried out for bolt sets of a selected type. The parts of the joined sets were stored according to the specified six different conditions for four weeks before assembly. Paper, cardboard boxes and anticorrosion foils were used as protection against atmospheric conditions. The behaviour of unassembled and assembled bolt sets was also taken into account. The variation in the friction coefficient depending on the clamping force and storage conditions of the bolt sets was demonstrated. This applies both to the contact between the joining elements on the threaded surfaces and to the area between the bolt head and the bearing surface of the nut and washer.
