Bolts under compression (at a certain unbraced length)
Bolts under compression (at a certain unbraced length)
(OP)
Where can I find information on how to determine the compressive capacity of a bolt under a certain unbraced length? Say like an anchor rod prior to the placement of grout.
Well, since I'm asking, I'll pose another question: When I have a point load applied on an HSS wall, how can I determine that this load does not excessively bend/buckle the wall?
Thanks!

For your other question, AISC 13th ed chapter k covers connections to HSS walls. That should give you the info you are looking for

StructuralEIT,
The bolts under compression is for a precast panel, where the unbraced length can be up to 6" inches, I used the example of an anchor rods without grout just because people are more familiar with a rod under compression in that application.
I will treat my bolt as a column, as per your suggestion. Thanks again.
