Check eccentricity
Maximum bearing stress; fp,max = 0.85 f'c c min((A2 / A1), 2) = 4.42 ksi
Maximum bearing pressure; qmax = fp,max B = 97.24 kips/in
Critical eccentricity; ecrit = N / 2 - Pu / (2 qmax) = 9.715 in
e > ecrit so loads cannot be resisted by bearing alone. Therefore consider as a large moment
Plate dimensions adequate as (f + N/2)2 >= (2 Pu (e + f))/qmax and a real solution for bearing length exists
Bearing length - quadratic solution 1; Y1 = (f + N/2) + ((f + N/2)2 - (2 Pu (e + f))/qmax) = 36.907 in
Bearing length - quadratic solution 2; Y2 = (f + N/2) - ((f + N/2)2 - (2 Pu (e + f))/qmax) = 2.793 in
Bearing length; Y = min(Y1, Y2) = 2.793 in
Tension force in bolts; Tu = qmax Y - Pu = 21.6 kips
Max tension in single bolt; Trod = Tu / (Nbolt/2) = 10.8 kips
