Anchor bolt yield/tensile strength from the mid 70's?
Anchor bolt yield/tensile strength from the mid 70's?
(OP)
I'm trying to check a pedestrian bridge designed in the 70's for increased wind loads (architects wanting to add solid panels to the sides), and I need to check the anchor bolts. The only information I can find is "Material: A240."
Any idea what the standard yield/tensile strength would be for anchor bolts used back then?

One thing to watch- in my field, the older requirements for anchor bolts were based on bond strength of hooked bolts and based on allowable stress only- and bolts designed that way won't meet the current requirements for pullout or for full yield strength pullout resistance. I assume that was based on the general structural practice of the day.
