Strength Checks
Bolt Shear at Support
The calculation is made using the Elastic method, one of the methods selected in the steel analysis settings tab. For the details of this check, AISC Manual 14th 7-8 is used as a reference.
In this check, the operation is performed on half of the symmetry axis and is calculated to form a force pair with the required force.
