Old Reinforcing Steel Grade

To All,

I am working on a job that involves an existing masonry building with the plans dated 1968. The reinf. steel spec. calls for reinforcing steel to "conform to ASTM A15 and A305-56T".

Should I assume this is Fy=40 ksi steel or can I assume a higher Fy?

Thanks in advance,

Larry Hauer S.E.
