    Bolt/threaded rod strengths differ for Grade 8.8 in BS 4190 and BS 5950

    Thanks Roland. That's an explanation I can accept. Although there is no such difference for the Grade 4.6 bolt, I can accept that for such weaker bolts, the design strength (or allowable strength) for the Grade 4.6 bolt is very close to its material strength, such that the two codes had used a...
