The specification requires that connections designed as slip criti-
cal must also be checked as bearing for the bearing condition. The
bearing design strength per bolt is

Since 31.6 35.8, use 31.6 kips as the design strength. The esti-
mated number of bolts required is 855/(31.6 2) 13.5. Therefore,
try 14 bolts each side of the connection.
