AFPA-National Design Sec for Wood Construction 2001 has lateral design equations for screws in wood that use fastener bending yield strength. But NDS only references typical bending yield strengths for carbon steel. We use lots of #8 thru #12 screws of 304 stainless steel.
The SSINA.com Stainless Steel Fasteners manual, Table 3 says 304 "cold worked" tensile yield = 50ksi, and 304 "strain hardened" tensile yield = 100ksi. Where do generic 304 SS roll thread SMS & WS typically fit into this for bending yield strength?
