Rn = 1.20 ⋅ lc ⋅ t ⋅ Fu ≤ 2.40 ⋅ d ⋅ t ⋅ Fu

ϕRn = 108.0 kN ≥ V = 11.4 kN

Where:
lc = 78 mm – clear distance, in the direction of the force, between the edge of the hole and the edge of the
adjacent hole or edge of the material
t = 8 mm – thickness of the plate
d = 20 mm – diameter of a bolt
Fu = 400.0 MPa – tensile strength of the connected material
ϕ = 0.75 – resistance factor for bearing at bolt holes

Interaction of tension and shear check (AISC 360-16: J3-2)

The required stress, in either shear or tension, is less than or equal to 30% of the corresponding available stress and the effects of
combined stresses need not to be investigated.
