Bolts In Bending
(OP)
Are there any provisions for checking bolts in bending?
I have a goofy connection which resembles a double-shear connection where one ply of steel is nested between two outer plies however, the plies are not tight together.
The bolt is essentially a simply supported beam with a point load at the center. I know this is not a good set-up but it's what I have to deal with at this point.

As you know a structural bolted connection (RCSC) requires all plies in firm contact. I would not recommend using a quenched and tempered structural bolt in your condition. The hardened material lacks ductility. Bending will lead quickly to fracture. You can use an A36 threaded rod. This would also be easier to analize for bending.
