Facilities". I would be inclined to go with the 55 ksi anchor rod and
galvanized steel. This document contains the rules for anchor rod
pretensioning.
If galvanizing can't be done, go to the ASTM A 193 series in SS, but work
with a metalurgist to avoid galling issues. With stainless steel, I like to
use Neverseeze.
