Input Data:

Total Tension Load, Tt = 53.70 kips bf/2=4.25

Total Shear Load, Vt = 26.80 kips g/2=2.75
Steel Yield, Fy = 36 ksi db=0.75 Q=2.94
Bolt Diameter, db = 0.750 in.
ASTM Bolt Desig. = A325 t=0.625
Bolt Type (N, X, or SC) = N
Bolt Hole Type = Standard T+Q=11.89
Tributary Length/Bolt, p = 4.500 in. tw=1.75 b'=1.5 a'=1.875
Total No. of Bolts, Nb = 6 bolts
Width, bf = 8.5000 in. b=1.875 a=1.5
Thickness, t = 0.6250 in. M2
Thickness, tw = 1.7500 in.
Bolt Gage, g = 5.500 in.
No. of Loading Cycles = 20000 (for 25 years)

Results:
2*T=17.9
Check Bolt Tension and Shear:
Ab = 0.4418 in.^2 Ab = *db^2/4 Nomenclature
vb = 4.47 kips/bolt vb = Vt/Nb
fv = 10.11 ksi fv = vb/Ab
T= 8.95 kips/bolt T = Tt/Nb
ft = 20.26 ksi ft = T/Ab
Tb = 28.00 kips Tb = Tb from AISC Table J3.7 (for A325 bolts)
Fv = 21.00 ksi Fv = Fv from AISC Table J3.2 (for N, X bolts)
Vb = 9.30 kips/bolt Vb = Fv*Ab Vb >= vb, O.K.
Ft(w/o Shr.) = 44.00 ksi Ft = (Ft from Table J3.2, fatigue is not considered)
Ft = 38.56 ksi Ft = SQRT(Ft^2-(Ft/Fv)^2*fv^2) (for N, X bolts)
B= 17.00 kips/bolt B = Ft*Ab (for N, X bolts) B >= T, O.K.

Calculate Required Thickness:

b = 1.8750 in. b = (g-tw)/2
b' = 1.5000 in. b' = b-db/2
a = 1.5000 in. a = minimum of: (bf-g)/2 or 1.25*b
a' = 1.8750 in. a' = a+db/2
 = 0.8000  = b'/a'
d' = 0.8125 in. d' = dh = db+1/16 (for Standard holes)
 = 0.8194  = 1-d'/p
= 1.124  = (1/)*(B/T-1)
' = 1.0000 If  >= 1: ' = 1, If  < 1: ' = lesser of 1 or (1/)*(/(1-))
t(req'd) = 0.604 in. t(req'd) = SQRT(8*T*b'/(p*Fy*(1+*'))) t >= t(req'd), O.K.

Calculate Prying Force, Q:

tc = 1.122 in. tc = SQRT(8*B*b'/(p*Fy)) (to develop 'B' in bolts/no prying)

= 0.851  = 1/*((T/B)/(t/tc)^2-1) (Note: 0 <= a <= 1.0)
Q= 2.94 kips Q = B****(t/tc)^2 (prying force per bolt at design load)

Check Allowable Bolt Tension with Prying Action:

' = 1.5076 ' = 1/(*(1+))*((tc/t)^2-1)

Ta = 9.59 kips If ' >1: Ta = B*(t/tc)^2*(1+) , If ' < 0: Ta = B
If 0 <= ' <= 1: Ta = B*(t/tc)^2*(1+*')
Ta >= T, O.K.
Calculate Required Thickness to Eliminate Prying Action:

t(req'd) = 0.814 in. t(req'd) = SQRT(8*T*b'/(p*Fy))
