The tensile stress area (A_t ) is obtained from standards

The tension capacity of the bolt is given by:

P_nom = 0.8p_tA_t Nominal

P_t = p_tA_t Exact

Where:

p_t is the tension strength of the bolt.

The shear capacity of the bolt is given by

P_S = p_s A_s

where:

p_s is the shear strength of the bolt
A_s is the shear area of the bolt.

In the table, As has been taken as equal to At .

The shear capacity given in the tables must be reduced for large packings, large grip lengths, kidney shaped slots or long joints when applicable.
