IC coordinate (origin at bolts centroid)
x IC = -32.00 mm acceptable tolerance: 0.01
y IC = 0.00 mm (S R y - P )/P = 0.00326 (OK)

D max = 8.64 mm ex = 120.00 mm (load eccentricity from bolts centroid)

r max = 72.00 mm r0 = 32.00 mm (distance between bolts centroid to IC)

Ru = 329 kN (ultimate shear strength of 1 bolt)

P= 449.95 kN (ultimate load of bolts system)

C= 1.37 (ratio of P /R u )
P u.max = 151.13 kN (maximum factored load; parallel to y-axis)
