Solution:

1. Consider Nominal Bearing Strength

Use smaller t t= 13 mm
Rn=2.4 d t F u
Rn = 2.4(20)(13)(400)

Lc = 29 mm

Rn = 1.2 Lc t Fu
Rn = 1.2(29)(13)(400)/1000
Rn = 180.960 KN < 249.6 KN
use Rn = 180.960 KN/bolt
Other holes(2,4)
Lc = s – h
Lc = 75 - 22
Lc = 53 mm

Rn = 1.2 Lc t Fu

Agv = 1495.00 mm2

Anv = 1495 - (1.5 x 24)13

 Anv = 1027.00 mm2

Ant = 1495 - (1.5 x 24)13

Rn1 = [0.6(400)1027 + 1.0(400)1027] /1000
Rn1 = 657.280 KN

Rn2 = [0.6(1495)250 + 1.0(400)1027] /1000

Rn2 = 635.050 KN
