Bolted assembly of identical bolts as shown in the figure in which load applied 10 kN with eccentricity 500 mm. For the material of the bolts the permissible yield stress in tension is given as 400 MPa. Considering the factor of safety as 2.5, what is the design diameter of bolts by using maximum shear stress theory criteria?
