Bolt Shear Calculation
Bolt Shear Calculation
(OP)
If the factor for shear strength is 0.62 of the tensile strength for carbon steel. DO you know where can I get a reference for this method? Because I need to prove this is the correct calculation to my customer. I need a reference which can prove this is the accepted way to do calculation.

As for actual data, try materials property websites such as
http://www.matweb.com
http://www.azom.com
or material producers sites to find actual ultimate shear and tensile strengths.
