bolts in bending members
(OP)
How are bolted connections through 3 sistered wood bending members calculated. Ive designed the beams based in relative stiffness, but I'm unsure how to determine demands on the bolts, say at 16" OC. Is it simply a double shear scenario using NDS and the shear at any given point along the beam? Or is the bending action taken into account somehow?

from the existing joist to the new joists(sisters) through the fasteners. The fasteners will have to be sized
to carry the load taken up by the sister joists.
The min / max spacing of fasteners will be governed by NDS.
If possible provide two rows of fasteners with staggered pattern.
See if the following threads would help:
