Laboratory and numerical experiments have been carried out to investigate the pullout phenomenon of a bolt from a steel plate. The experiments show two distinctly different failure modes and a transition failure mode. The failure modes mainly depend on the thickness of the steel plate for the given diameter of screw. The experiments are numerically simulated and the obtained numerical results are compared with those obtained by the laboratory-testing program.
