What is the technical definition of cracked and uncracked concretes? Under what circustances do we design cracked concrete or otherwise?

IFRs, how much bolt strength (shear and tensile) do you consider in design for stainless steel bolts? What is tensile and shear strengths of A304 stainless steel bolts?

Is there any difference in bolts strength for regular A307 or A325 bolts vs stainless steel bolts? Does AISC talk about this?
