Allowable Bolt Stress for A307
Allowable Bolt Stress for A307
(OP)
ASME gives allowable stress for A307 bolt as 7000 psi. However, AISC 9th edition, will allowable bolt stress of A307 as 20,000 psi. If the bolts I am trying to size are anchor bolts, do I still need to take allowable stress from ASME, or will AISC allowable stress be acceptable.
Thanks

If there is no verbage, then I would go by AISC Code and design for earthquake and wind loading if applicable using the AISC allowable stress in one of the accepted AISC analytical methods.
