NDS Table 11G (bolted steel wood connection) question
(OP)
So at the bottom of the table it says that:
"... and a dowel bearing strength (Fe) of 87,000 psi for ASTM A 36 steel."
I thought A 36 is 36 ksi? Why 87 ksi? I am trying to make a spread sheet that will give me these table values and I cant seem to justify the 87 ksi.

Look in AISC 360-05 page 16.1-111. The nominal bearing stress when deformation of the hole at service loads is not a design consideration is 1.5Fu. Fu for A36 if 58,000psi. 1.5*58,000=87,000psi. It is equation J3-6b in The thirteenth edition manual.
