Bolt Capacity Calculator | CSA S16 Shear and Tension
Calculate factored shear and tensile resistance of structural bolts per CSA S16. Supports A325 and A490 bolt grades with thread-intercepted and non-intercepted shear planes. Includes bearing capacity checks on the connected plate with automatic edge distance verification. Full hand-calculation output shows every step for review and documentation.
A325 and A490 bolt grades per CSA S16, with automatic tensile strength lookup based on bolt diameter.
Does this calculator check bearing capacity?
Yes. It checks bearing resistance on the connected plate using the plate's ultimate tensile strength, thickness, and edge distance.
Can I see the full calculation steps?
Yes. The calculator produces a complete hand-calculation output showing every intermediate value, so you can verify the results and include them in your design documentation.
