Weld Symbols attached

PJP weld with fillet on oneside and fillet on other side is more stronger than fillet weld on two sides. We already gave
calculation for both sides fillet weld.Check all weld symbols for clarity.

Loads given by GKD are perpendicular to the Shear tab and Paralel to the Shear tab, due this for inclined shear tabs
there is no need for taking component forces. No need fo any calculations.

HDR says "HSS is subjected to bending moment due to shear lag". As a PE I'm designing the shear tab for the load
given by GKD. If HSS is subjected to bending due to shear lag, loads which are to imparted on the tab due to HSS
bending should be given by HDR, so that we can check how shear tab will be affected. We already asked for loads
which we have considered are max or not.

Fatigue Considerations

Pre Loading of Bolt Joints by Torque Tightening makes them work under more favourable fatigue regime.

Pre Loading the Joint can ensure friction grip between clamped members.
