    stainless steel bolts 188 grade

    thank you retired13. Can you locate a reference for the Internal thread stripping area and external stripping Area? I saw the equations from Federal standard H28 but they are cumbersome. There has to be a table developed. Do you know of any? Thanks again.

    ASCE 7-10 section 4.5.3 Vehicle Barrier

    Thank you. I have to change my anchors in Hilti Profis to strength level forces by applying 1.6 factor for live load, which will give me a shear of 9600 pounds and a moment of 259,200 in pounds. My other weak link is going to be welding the post to the base plate. Thanks again.

    ASCE 7-10 section 4.5.3 Vehicle Barrier

    Is the 6000 pounds listed in the section strength level or service load? Since this is an impact load, is there an increase in the stress allowable?

    NDS 2005 shear values

    When designing wood shear walls, I usually take the base shear per wall and multiply by 0.7 or divide by 1.4 to get ASD. Using Table 4.3A wood-frame shear walls in the 2005 NDS (I don't have the 2012 yet, its on its way), footnote 1 refers to section 4.3.3 to determine ASD allowable unit shear...
