Notes and Assumptions

1 Bolts are referred to by column and row number. Columns are
numbered from left to right, and rows from top to bottom.
2 All bolt holes are assumed to be normal clearance holes.
3 All bolts are assumed to have threads in their shear planes.

Check 2b : Tension Capacity of the Bolts

Depending on the sign of the applied moment, the connection is
deemed to rotate about either the topmost or bottommost row of
bolts. The tensile force due to the moment is added to the
direct tensile force (if any) before doing this check.
