Supported width of masonry; dm = lh + s - c = 70 mm

Forces simple
Eccentricity of support angle slab; e1 = 85 mm
Force of slab on support angle; P1 = PGssb fG + PQssb fQ = 7.6 kN/m
Bending at heel; M1 = P1 e1 = 0.6 kNm/m
Section modulus of horizontal plate; Zxx,plate = 1m tsb2 / (6 1m) = 10.67 cm3/m
Moment capacity of plate; Mc = 1.2 pysb Zxx,plate = 3.5 kNm/m
Effective width factor; m = Bbolt / (lh + lb) = 2.93
Effect. breadth of angle between fixings for stress; Beff_str = min(2 Bbolt / (0.4 + m), Bbolt) = 361 mm
Stress at heel; = Bbolt M1 / (Beff_str Zxx,plate) = 100.7 N/mm2
PASS - Design strength exceeds stress at heel
Deflection at toe
Unfactored force on support angle; P1SLS = PGssb + PQssb = 5.0 kN/m
Circumferential distance bearing point to load pos; am = e1 = 85 mm
Length of load resultant to toe edge of angle; bm = lh - e1 = 35 mm
Ratio p; pdef = am / l = 1.00
Ratio q; qdef = bm / l = 0.41
Effective breadth of angle between fixings for defl.; Beff_def = min(2 Bbolt / (0.8 + m), Bbolt) = 322 mm
Effective second moment of inertia; Ieff_def = Beff_def tsb3 / 12 = 13738 mm4
Deflection at toe; = (Bbolt P1SLS l3 pdef) / (12 ES5950 Ieff_def) (4 pdef2 + 6 pdef
qdef + 3 pdef + 3 qdef) = 0.58 mm
Deflection limit; lim = 2.00 mm
PASS - Deflection is within specified criteria
Bolt details
Type of bolt; Grade 8.8 Black Bolts - M12
Effective area of bolt; Asbolt = 84.3 mm2
Shear capacity of bolt; Psbolt = 31.6 kN
Shear force on bolt; Fs,bolt = P1 Bbolt = 4.560kN
Tension capacity of bolt; Ptbolt = 37.9 kN
Tension force on bolt; Ft,bolt = Bbolt M1 / l = 4.560kN
PASS - Capacity of bolt exceeds applied force
Combined shear and tension; Fs,bolt / Psbolt + Ft,bolt / Ptbolt = 0.264
PASS - Combined shear and tension check is less than 1.4
