Specifications A307-64, of sufficient size and number to withstand the applicable load conditions specified in Rule 105.2b. Based on these initial load,
total tension in anchor bolts shall not exceed seven
thousands (7000) pounds per square inch of net section and the total shear shall not exceed seven thousands (7000) pounds per square inch of actual area in
the shear plane. Where bolts are used through sloping
flanges of structural shapes, the boltheads shall be
of the tipped or beveled-head type or shall be fitted
with beveled steel washers, and nuts or sloping flanges shall seat or beveled steel washers.
Exception: Bolts made of steel having a greater

ultimate strengths. Elongation must conform to the
requirements of the corresponding ASTM Specification.
