    Double-Sided End-Plate Bolt Sharing

    Thanks, DanKile. I'll check the OSHA for more info. Yeah, 341 didn't mention any about the bolt sharing. My thought was that if the 2 beams experience flexure/tension simultaneously, the shared bolts will have to resist 2 different tensions and flexures, increasing the loads. Though I need some...
