- a core bolt (12, 112, 412) disposed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and having a first end, a second end opposite said first end, and a shank portion (30, 230, 430) between said first end and said second end, said shank portion (30, 230, 430) including a cylindrical portion proximate said first end and having a first diameter, a threaded portion (44, 144, 444) proximate said second end and including threads having a major diameter (50, 450) that is less than said first diameter, and a thread run-out intermediate said first and second portions, said first diameter of said cylindrical portion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) being sized and shaped to enable said core bolt (12, 112, 412) to be installed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214), said threads of said threaded portion (44, 144, 444) being complementary to said internal threads of said sleeve (14, 114, 214), said core bolt (12, 112, 412) being adapted to be engaged by an installation tool; and - an insert (16, 116, 216, 316) disposed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and encircling a portion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412), said insert (16, 116, 216, 316) being sized and shaped to abut and be retained between said step of said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and said thread run-out of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) when said fastener (10, 110, 210) is in a pre-installation position, wherein said fastener (10, 110, 210) is adapted to compress said insert (16, 116, 216, 316) between said step of said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and said thread run-out of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) by an installation motion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) with respect to said sleeve (14, 114, 214) before said installation motion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) generates a compressive load on said sleeve (14, 114, 214), and wherein said insert (16, 116, 216, 316) is adapted to deform away from said core bolt (12, 112, 412) to initiate formation of a bulb adjacent the blind side of the plurality of work pieces (18, 20; 118, 120; 218, 220) in response to said compression. - a sleeve (14, 114, 214) having a tubular portion (60, 90, 260), a first end, a second end opposite said first end, an enlarged head at said first end, and a pocket (68, 268) formed within said enlarged head, said tubular portion (60, 90, 260) having an outer surface having an outer diameter, said outer diameter of said tubular portion (60, 90, 260) being sized and shaped to enable the sleeve (14, 114, 214) to be installed within the aligned holes (22, 24; 122, 124; 222, 224), said tubular portion (60, 90, 260) including a first portion proximate said first end and having a first inner diameter, a second portion adjacent said first portion and having a second inner diameter that is less than said first inner diameter, a third portion proximate said second end and having internal threads, and a step intermediate said first and second portions; - a core bolt (12, 112, 412) disposed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and having a first end, a second end opposite said first end, and a shank portion (30, 230, 430) between said first end and said second end, said shank portion (30, 230, 430) including a cylindrical portion proximate said first end and having a first diameter, a threaded portion (44, 144, 444) proximate said second end and including threads having a major diameter (50, 450) that is less than said first diameter, and a thread run-out intermediate said first and second portions, said first diameter of said cylindrical portion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) being sized and shaped to enable said core bolt (12, 112, 412) to be installed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214), said threads of said threaded portion (44, 144, 444) being complementary to said internal threads of said sleeve (14, 114, 214), said core bolt (12, 112, 412) being adapted to be engaged by an installation tool; and - an insert (16, 116, 216, 316) disposed within said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and encircling a portion of said core bolt (12, 112, 412), said insert (16, 116, 216, 316) being sized and shaped to abut and be retained between said step of said sleeve (14, 114, 214) and said thread run-out of said core bolt (12, 112, 412) when said fastener (10, 110, 210) is in a pre-installation position,
