    The document summarizes the design of bolt connections according to BS 5950. It calculates that 4 M16 grade 8.8 bolts would have sufficient shear capacity of 21.75 kN to withstand an applied shear load of 3 kN. It also determines that a single M10 grade 8.8 bolt would provide adequate bearing capacity of 36.8 kN compared to the minimum required of 92 kN, given the end distance, thickness, and bearing strength of the connected parts. Therefore, both the shear and bearing capacities are sufficient for the connection.
