Stainless Steel Anchor Bolts
Stainless Steel Anchor Bolts
(OP)
Hi,
Stainless steel bolts for a WF canopy column. Architectually exposed, architect wants to see the bolts. Right now I'm thinking A316L type 70. I'm having a hard time finding some good values of Fy and Fu and E to use in my calculations.
But I am learning a lot about stainless steel. There are some large tension forces in the bolts and I want to make sure these bad boys work.
Any suggestions??! Thanks.

These alloys have high strength without cold work (or much higher with some work), good corrosion resistance, and great cracking resistance.

There are a number of sources for the latter, such as Hilti, Simpson, Powers Fasteners, etc. When you mentioned A316L type 70, are you using the nomenclature for metric fasteners such as ASTM F 738M? If so, grade 316L (Property Class A4-70) has minimum requirements of YS = 300 MPa, UTS = 550 MPa, & Elongation = 0.2*D. This is a good starting point for discussions with manufacturers.

I saw a large quantity of rebar in 2101 recently. Weldable, no coating to damage, and a min yield of 75ksi.

We typically use J-bolts at columns where uplift is not a problem. Columns where the anchor bolts really don't do much other than provide erection stability.
Columns with uplift/moments we will use threaded bolts with nuts.
Oldrunner,
AISC Design Guide #1 and/or ACI 318 Appendix D provides design information for J-bolts.

J-bolts are for residential / wood framed only.
RE: Stainless Steel Anchor Bolts
Uplift or not, you mentioned that you had large tensile forces... Been using headed/threaded bolts for nearly 20 years and specifically note that J or L bolts shall not be used.

That's the plan, until the SS gets v.E.'ed out of the project.
I am designing some exterior Structural SS elsewhere on this project..any good references by AISC? I have a Euro Inox publication.
