Tension Force of Bolt T = M/r
= 461.41 / 0.65
= 710 kN

Maximum Tension Force on Bolts = MAX ( 160 , 710 )

= 710 kN
Maximum Tension Force Per Bolts = 177.5 kN
(Assume 4 no of bolts undergo tension)

Maximum Shear Force on Bolts, V = 1.54 x 27.1 + 1.54 x 4.7

= 49 kN
Maximum Shear Force Per Bolts = 49/12 kN
= 4.08 kN

BS 5950-1 Tension Capacity (Per Bolt)

:2000 Pc = 0.8Pt * At
6.3.4.2
Tensile Stress Area At = pi() x (42 / 2)^2
