The tensile load acting on each bolt is not the same. The elastic theory is based on the
concept design that due to Mx acting downward, the 3 embeds on the top will carry most
the tension loads while 3 embeds on the bottom will resist least tensil loads.

Using elastic theory

y1 = 1075 mm
y2 = 875 mm
Distance of bolt from reference
y3 = 675 mm
Distance of bolt from reference

y4 = 125 mm
