Design of Connection between post and foundation

Shear force at the joint is negligible. Connection is designed for uplift & moment.

The moments is transferred from post base to the footing through the Steel angle connection. Due to the transfer of m
bolts, the bolts will be in shear. So the bolts to be checked for the shear.
