Estimated safe value for thru bolts in hollow masonry with steel plates each side

I have some temporary shoring needs and would like to gain enough temporary strength using steel plates on each side of a 8" hollow wall (assumed hollow).

Having some difficulty finding some acceptable values, per bolt (3/4, 1", etc), for this application. Any help on this subject would be appreciated!

A detail or at least a description of a detail would be helpful.

I imagine that you are delivering the load from one side of the wall only?

Yes, beam going through a non-bearing CMU wall. I want to bolt an angle underneath and turn the non-bearing wall into a bearing wall temporarily. Trying to get a safe load estimate for each connector if angle is on one side and flat plate on the other.
 
I usually just got with a screen tube masonry anchor solution instead of through bolts. That, simply because there are established design methods for dealing with that setup.

The closest thing that I know of to your application is this stuff: Link
