BOLT AVAILABLE SHEAR AND TENSILE STRENGTHS: ONLINE CALCULATOR

Are you tired of going through the AISC Design Tables 7-1 through 7-4 looking for the available strength of bolts when designing bolted connections?

You are lucky, this is for you! You may now rest your weary mind. Below is a JavaScript program I wrote that calculates both the bolt shear and tensile strengths. The program eliminates the use of AISC Design Tables 7-1 through 7-4. I hope you will find this helpful and make your life much easier.
