Shear force on a bolt
Shear force on a bolt
(OP)
What are the shear forces on a bolt connecting a strut to a concrete floor? The strut is supporting a flight header for a stair platform and another strut supports the platform header.

But if the strut has any other members connected to it internally, between its two ends, the strut would also be a beam, having internal, beam shear forces, and the answer would be more complicated than the above.

The shear strength of a fastener may be given as a percent (e.g. shear strength = 60% of tensile strength), but the question relates to applied shear stress. It makes no sense to relate this to the fastener's tensile strength.

Where a strut goes down to a ground-floor slab, consideration should be given to the possibility of an impact from a passing vehicle. Depending on the use of the building, there is a possibility of corrosion as dust collects round the base of the column. I would always have 2/M16 or 5/8" bolts.
