Dear Mandeep,

I am aware of the fact that as per Sec VIII Div I & Sec II Part D, the allowable stress is UTS/3.5

What I am drawing attention through my query is that if Caesar talks of allowable stress "intensities" then these default values ought to be from Sec VIII Div II & should be as per Sec II Part D Tables 2A & 2B (i.e. UTS/3).
