This document analyzes the prying forces in structural steel bolt connections. It provides the input data for the connection, including load values, material properties, and bolt/plate dimensions. It then calculates the bolt tension and shear forces, checks the required plate thickness, calculates the prying force value, and checks the allowable bolt tension with prying action considered. The required plate thickness to eliminate prying action is also calculated.
