Hi Folks,
Is there any downside to using anchor bolts with a tensile strength that
exceeds the tower foundation design requirements? All other specifications
would be the same other than Grade.
I am helping a friend reinstall a UST HDX-689. The foundation design
specifies Grade A36 headed anchor bolts; however, the supplier can provide
Grade A55 bolts for the same price with a faster delivery time.
I assume this would not be an issue, but I wanted to verify before
proceeding.
Thanks,
Bob K6ZZ
