James, Jayesh, Thank you! I have purchased Design Guide 27. James, in your text, you mention Fnt as 56 ksi...I assume that 56ksi=.75*75ksi (for SS type 31600) and therefore the allowable tension in the bolt would be FntAb/omega or .75*Fu(Ab)/omega= .75*Fu/2 = Fu/2.67 for ASD (26250psi times bolt area ...
