Hi,
due to the limited space, I often find myself wondering whether I could use bolts in shear (bolts 1 in the figure) in conjunction with concrete in compression (perhaps with bolts no. 2 to hold the shear force). In these cases, I find it hard to find the forces in the bolts with confidence. What model do you use to calculate the bolt/anchor forces in these cases? Can I assume a linear strain profile as in reinforced concrete? I look forward to your opinions.
