The bolt group shown in Figure P8.2-12 consists of 3⁄4-inch-diameter, Group A bearing-type bolts in single shear. The bearing strength is adequate. Use LRFD and the tables in Part 7 of the Manual to determine the following.
a. The maximum permissible factored load.
b. The required number of bolts per vertical row if the factored load is 175 kips.
