Calculation of plate thickness in Connection subjected to tension (AS

Tb (force/Bolt)= 12 tons
Pitch (P)= 12 cm
Bolt Diameter= 2.7 cm
Guage (g)= 12 cm
distance from bolt to edge (a)= 6.5 cm
distance from bolt to stem (b)= 3 cm
Tp= 2.5 cm
FY= 3.45 t/cm2
Bolt Available strength (B)= 11.85962 tons
b'= 1.65 cm
a'= 5.1 cm
Take P min of P or g = 12 cm

A-Thickness Req without prying force

t=(6.66*Tb*b'/FY/P)0.5 1.78 cm

B-Thickness Req with Prying Force

d=1-d'/p= 0.758333
r=b'/a'= 0.323529
b=1/r(B/Tb-1)= -0.036159
a-=1/d(b/1-b)= -0.046018

t=(6.66*Tb*b'/Fu/P/(1+da-))0.5 1.82 cm

Calculation of prying force

tc=(6.66*B*b'/Fu/P)0.5 1.774248 cm

a=1/d*(Tb/B*(tc/tp)2-1) -0.647

Pry force Ratio (r)= d e a *(tp/tc)^2 -0.315

Pry force (q)= r*B -3.736 tons

total force on bolt (q+Tb) 8.26 tons

Ratio 0.6969
