These designs have been done based on BS5950-1:2000 & BS8110-1:1997.

Main Bar size
= 16 mm
Designed yield strength of reinforcement bar and shear link = 460 N/mm2.
Fillet Weld Size
= 6 mm.
Allowable Stress for Grade 43 steel fillet weld
= 115 N/mm2.
Strength for Grade 43 steel fillet weld
= 215 N/mm2.
