Design Loads

The force acting per flange (Ff) = Wc1xTc1xfy = 538.76 KN

The force acting in the web(Fw) = (Ac1xfy-2xFf) = 199.94 KN

For Flange Connection

Check for flange bolt

Bearing capacity ( Pb ) = (n2 x d2 x Tc1.410) = 624.84 KN > 538.76 KN
Hence Safe
Shear force per bolt ( Fs ) = 44.90 KN < 96.35 KN
Hence Safe
