A co-worker used Apendix D to figure the shear of an F1554-36 1"diam. anchor rod (13.7kips) . I used the single shear value of an A307 in the AISC tables (9.42kips).
I realize that these anchors aren't technically the same, but for this shear/structural discussion should we be getting the same, or at least closer, results? I think the tensile strength differences between the bolts are 58ksi & 60ksi. Thats only a 4% difference, but our individual findings are MUCH further apart.
Thanks.
