Bolt group in shear: spacing and edge distance, bolt shear rupture, bearing and tear-out at the holes, slip resistance, and block shear rupture of the connected part, with every equation shown on the calc sheet.
The engine was tested against the AISC Steel Construction Manual, 16th edition, Tables 7-1, 7-3, 7-4 and 7-5. Bearing values are per inch of material thickness with Fu = 58 ksi and standard holes.

Block shear was tested against the AISC Design Examples, v15.1. They are written to AISC 360-16; Eq. J4-5 is the same in 360-22. φRn in kips. AISC rounds each area to three significant figures and the tool does not, so the two agree within 0.3%.
