What do structural engineers mean by "bolt tear out"?
(OP)
I have been assigned the task of checking bolt tear out for one bolt fastening a plate. Which limit state do structural engineers refer to when they say "bolt tear out"? Shear Rupture, Block Shear or another one? Thanks

"Shear rupture" is what goes into the tabloids.

The commentary to section J3.10 of AISC 360-10 states "Material bearing strength may be limited either by bearing deformation of the hole or by tearout (a bolt-by-bolt block shear rupture) of the material upon which the bolt bears." Is AISC 360 a tabloid written by engineers and reported by the press?
