Connection Moment Capacity
(OP)
What is the typical method for analyzing the moment capacity of a connection?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

The connection design can include a number of aspects, such as plate bending, analysis of bolt groups, resolving weld shears etc.
Importantly, make sure you never violate equilibrium.
If you are more descriptive about your connection, we will be able to help more.

This connection requires a good understanding of timber, steel and at least a reasonable understanding of concrete design. You can't pick up enough here without someone doing this for you, which is NOT what Eng-Tips is meant to be...

The concrete strength is irrelevant, the connection will not work for a moment of any significance.
ridgeline,
As others have noted, this is clearly outside your region of expertise. I would recommend you consuly someone who knows what they are doing, particularly if you are in a seismic zone.

Increase the spacing between the bolts to achieve greater capacity.
Provide all steel, weld, anchor connections to achieve greater capacities than the bolt in shear.
