i have a carriage bolt and it said that the bolt was rated at 36,000 psi.

That depends on how many square inches. Take 36,000 times the number of square inches, and you get the pounds you are looking for.

First it means that the bolt can withstand up to 36,000 psi of pressure, not mass or weight...
psi = pounds per square inch
Also, you need to know whether that is tensile or shear strength. Tensile is a pulling force that exerts pressure, and shear is the transverse force across the bolt.
Once you know that, there are simple equations that can tell you how much mass it can carry on a given axis of the bolt.

PSI (pounds per square inch) is a derived unit and Lbs (pounds) is a base unit. They each measure different things.
Lbs is measureing weight or mass.
whereas
PSI is dealing is pressure or how much weight is being distributed over a square inch.

I have a link that can help you.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on the hyper link for pressure (or click on the hyper link for page 2), that will take you to the second page where you can so conversions for psi.
