Sorry if this seems a really simple question but....
I am doing some steel design and have used a maximum stress limit of 0.67*yield strength as my limit tensile and 0.4*yield as my shear limit. My client has come back asking where i get 0.67 and 0.4 from and has suggested 0.6 from AISC code. I do not have this AISC code and would like to continue with my 0.67 and 0.4 factors.
My question is can anyone tell me which standard these factors come from i.e ANSI or ASME standard or other. I cannot for the life of me recall as i have used them forever never referencing them and never had anyone query it as it always seemed a universal set of factors.
Much obliged for your assistance
