When specifying anchor bolts to attach steel columns to concrete, everything I read suggests specifying ASTM F1554. I have specified Gr36 and my supplier says that it is much easier and cheaper to get ASTM A193 B7 bolts. Those I read are not as ductile and are stronger. What would preclude me from specifying a B7 bolt then? Am I missing something that would say that I shouldn't?
