Ab = 79 mm2 – gross bolt cross-sectional area

ϕ = 0.75 – capacity factor

Shear resistance check (AISC 360-16: J3-1)

ϕRn = ϕ ⋅ Fnv ⋅ Ab = 21.3 kN ≥ V = 13.1 kN

Where:
Fnv = 360.0 MPa – nominal shear stress from AISC 360-16 Table J3.2

Bearing resistance check (AISC 360-16: J3-6)

Rn = 1.20 ⋅ lc ⋅ t ⋅ Fu ≤ 2.40 ⋅ d ⋅ t ⋅ Fu

ϕRn = 61.7 kN ≥ V = 13.1 kN

Where:
lc = 25 mm – clear distance, in the direction of the force, between the edge of the hole and the edge of the
adjacent hole or edge of the material
t = 7 mm – thickness of the plate

d = 10 mm – diameter of a bolt

Fu = 490.0 MPa – tensile strength of the connected material

ϕ = 0.75 – resistance factor for bearing at bolt holes

Interaction of tension and shear check (AISC 360-16: J3-2)

The required stress, in either shear or tension, is less than or equal to 30% of the corresponding available stress and the effects of

combined stresses need not to be investigated.
