I am doing an FEA on a flange using solid elements for the flange and beam elements for the bolts. When classifying
the stresses using Div. 2 criteria, what allowable stress should I use for the beam elements?
Thanks.

Anyone familiar with the seismic section of the Kentucky
Building Code (2002 or 2003)?
I am doing a seismic analysis of a vessel and need the formula for the seismic design force (Fp).
Is it the same as the International Building Code 2000?
Thank you in advance.
