Title Appendix B Worked Example: Design of a truss node with gusset 23 of 44 5 - 102 3.3.5. Connection N3 – Checking bolts with regard to the angle component Determination of the design ultimate shear load F V,Ed for each bolts Table B.8 gives the results of the design ultimate shear load F V,bi,Ed and its components F V,bi,h,Ed and F V,bi,v,Ed (See Figure B.18). These results are deduced from the results obtained for the gusset in the basis   h v   , .
