    The document summarizes structural checks performed on a bracket and bolt connection. It checks the bolt capacity in tension and finds it is adequate. It then checks the bending capacity of a 4mm steel bracket and finds it fails the design check. It then calculates the design shear capacity and required shear force to check if a revised bracket design would be adequate.
