Check for Bolt Tension

Case Total bolt tension calculation = Tdirect + Tmoment + Tshearkey
1 Tdirect = 0; Tmoment = 0; Tshearkey = Shear*(Hsk+g+tp)/(D+Szo)
2 Tdirect = 0; Tmom = - P ( 0.5 Lp - NA /3 - e) / (0.5 Lp - NA/3 + Sz/2) (Computed by solver) ; Tshearkey = Shear*(Hsk+g+tp)/(D+Szo)
3 Tdirect = T/(nos of bolts); Tmom = m*(Smax/NA)*((Lp+Szo)/2-NA)*As (Computed by solver); Tshearkey = Shear*(Hsk+g+tp)/(D+Szo)
4 Tdirect = T/(nos of bolts); Tmoment = (M / Sz) / (nos of bolts /2); Tshearkey = Shear*(Hsk+g+tp)/(D+Szo)
Total Bolt Tension < Tension Capacity.

Maximum moment M= 2983 N-mm/mm

t = [sqrt( 4 M / (f x Fyp))]…f = 0.9 tpred = 7 mm
Conclusion: Plate thickness Okay
