Forces
If axial tensile elements are used together with bolted joints, yield stress will be reached earlier in the areas where bolt holes are located. This situation will affect the strength computations made by using the load-displacement curve and assuming linear elastic.

The characteristic tensile strength Tn for the yielding limit state in tensile members is calculated by equation 7.3 using the net cross-section area.

Shear Limit State
The characteristic block shear strength is calculated by equation 13.19, based on the yield and rupture limit states along the Rn shear surface or surfaces and tensile rupture limit state along the vertical tensile surface.
