Vertical Resistance
Location Figure 1, box bottom left Figure 1, box for NRd Original Determine capacity reduction factor, m from Figure 8 Calculate design resistance (per unit length) from: NRd = m t fk / M einit = initial eccentricity for construction imperfections, which may be taken as hef/450 2ai = 1 h Ratio, hef/lef Amendment Determine capacity reduction factors, m and i (see page 6) Calculate design resistance (per unit length) from least favourable of: NRd = m t fk / M and NRd = i t fk / M einit = initial eccentricity for construction imperfections, which may be taken as hef/450, with a sign that increases the absolute value of ei and em as appropriate. 2 ai = 1 hc Ratio, hef/tef

Lateral Resistance
Location Figure 1, box for MEd1 and MEd2 Original Obtain from table 2 and calculate, MEd1 and MEd2, where: MEd1 = 1 WEd l2, parallel to the bed joints or MEd2 = 2 WEd l2, perpendicular to the bed joints If MRd MEd 0.25 Amendment Obtain 2 from Table 2 and calculate, MEd1 and MEd2, where: MEd1 = 1 WEd l2, parallel to the bed joints where 1 = 2 or MEd2 = 2 WEd l2, perpendicular to the bed joints If MEd MRd 0.35
