Specifications.
- Standard-sized holes
- Fy = 36 ksi and Fu = 58 ksi unless otherwise noted
-
Deformation at service loads is a design consideration.
-Do not consider block shear, unless specifically requested
-For bolts, consider the equivalent diameters in SI (check the
table for nominal dimensions)
