Wood Deck Screw Material (ANSI B18.6.1)

[atrizzy]

Does anyone know offhand if and what the material strength requirement (Fy) is for wood screws manufactured to ANSI B18.6.1?

Just want to make sure my 36 ksi assumption is conservative.

Thanks!

ANSI B18.6.1 is for dimensions. There should be another specification called out for the material type. If it's a steel screw 36 ksi should be fine to use.

All I know is P/A and Mc/I
