Older versions of BPVC Section 8, Div 2 mentioned bearing loads and stated the average bearing stress shall be limited to yield strength at temperature. This works for me but I would like to find where this is in the 2007 version before submitting a design file.

Does anyone know what bearing loads are allowed now?
