Figure 10.32 shows a vertically loaded bracket attached to a fixed member by three identical bolts. Although the 24-KN load is normally applied in the center. the bolts are to be selected on the basis that the load eccentricity shown could occur. Because of safety considerations, SAE class 9.8 steel bolts and a minimum safety factor of 6 (based on proof strength) are to be used.
