It clearly odviscs- for the use of BS EN 14399 instead of Indian standard
codes. So ITP ner-ds to be revised.
5. As per Flint & Neil's comment no. 4 in verbatim as: u Using BS 4395-2
'grade 2' bolts up to and including M24 diameter does not provide any
advantage over BS 4395-1 'general grade' bolts as a redu ction factor of
0.85 is applied - see Clause 14.5.4.3 of BS 5400-3. The designer sh01.t ld
confirm this is the case for their design and whether there is any reason
why general grade (8.8) bolts cannot be used in lieu of grade 10.9 bolts
for diameters up to M24. Using general grade bolts will mean that a
wider choice of tightening methods including part-tum will be
available." The comments from designer M/s LAP and M/s WSP are to
be taken in this regard and forwarded to NR for better appreciation.
o. The tightening method of the bolts $hould also be clearly mentioned
and incorporated in the ITP.
