Design for Strength Using Allowable Strength Design (ASD) - Page no 68

Ra ≤ Rn
Ω
Ra = required strength using ASD load combinations
Rn = nominal strength
Ω =safety factor
Rn/Ω = allowable strength
The nominal strength, Rn, and the safety factor, Ω, for the applicable limit states are specified in Chapters
D through K.

Tensile and Shear Strength of Bolts and Threaded Parts - Page no 187

Rn = FnAb
Ω = 2.00 (ASD)
where,
Ab = nominal unthreaded body area of bolt or threaded part, in.2 (mm2)
Fn = nominal tensile stress, Fnt, or shear stress, Fnv, from Table J3.2, ksi (MPa)
