With AISI code, when calculating the bearing strength the inside sheet of double shear connection will have a higher coefficient (1.33) than single shear and outside sheets of double shear connection (1.0 with washer or 0.75 without washer) giving a higher bearing strength for the inside sheet of double shear connection. But with AISC-13th, I don't see any similar formulation. It seems no matter it's single shear or inside sheet of double shear, the bearing strength will be the same as it is listed in Table 7-5 and 7-6 of AISC-13th. Am I missing anything in AISC-13th?
Thanks a lot!
