All - Thanks for your help. I'm not sure if the SAE spec or manufacturer data will answer this question. The question is, how does one calculate the allowable stress on the cross section of a bolt (those not covered by AISC)? I see that Fy and Ft is specified for the different types of...

AISC provides tabulated allowable shear and tensile stresses for ASTM A307, A325, and A490 structural bolts. When dealing with small fasteners such as SAE J429 Gr 2, 1/4-20 screws, where can one find specifications for allowable shear and tensile stresses similar to what is found in AISC? For...

Ralph - Your post confirms my gut feel for the detail. That's the way I had been taught to interperet details like that. But proving it (with code verbage) to someone who might challenge the interpretation is not easy when ACI is not specific. Thanks to all for their posts. It has been...

Thanks to all for their responses. The detail would show vertical reinforcing coming up and hooking into the slab or beam with hooks long enough to develop the bar. The slab / beam reinforcing are not specifically spliced or lapped with the hooked dowel bars. Intuitively I think the hooked...

When is it appropriate to consider a continuous concrete beam to be built integrally with its supports? Does it apply only to a monolythic pour or does it also apply to a beam or slab bearing on a wall with dowels joining them? ACI 318-08 Section 8.9 addresses what the appropriate span length...
