FAQs for F1554 Grade 36 Anchor Bolts
Yes, per ASTM Section 6.4, a weldable Grade 55 (S1) may be furnished at the manufacturer’s option when Grade 36 is specified. This often helps reduce lead times. However, we always recommend consulting with your Engineer of Record to ensure that higher yield strength does not impact the structural design
F1554 Grade 36 has a minimum yield strength of 36 ksi (248 MPa) and a tensile strength of 58-80 ksi (400-552 MPa). While it is the lowest strength option in the F1554 series, it provides flexibility and weldability, making it ideal for general-purpose anchoring.
The recommended hardware includes:
-
Nuts: A563A Hex Nuts or Heavy Hex Nuts (plain or galvanized)
-
Washers: USS, SAE, or F436 washers for proper load distribution
