The design value Ft,RD of the tension resistance of the entire tension rod system (tension rods, fork end connectors incl. pins, couplers, (cross) turnbuckles, centre discs and gusset plates) is the minimum value of the design tension resistance Ft,RD, Tension Rod of the tension rod, the design tension resistance Ft,RD, (Cross) Turnbuckle of the (cross) turnbuckle and the design bearing resistance Fb,Rd, Gusset Plate/Centre disc of the gusset plate or centre disc. The design values shall be determined according to EN 1993-1-1:2005 and EN 1993-1-8:2005 as follows: Ft,RD, Tension Rod = min A  fy,k/M0; 0.9  AS  fu,k/M2 A = net cross section of the unthreaded part of the tension rod AS = of the threaded part tensile stress area of the tension rod fy,k = characteristic value of the yield strength of the tension rod material according to Rp0,2 given in Annexes B2 and B3 fu,k = characteristic value of the tensile strength of the tension rod material according to Rm given in Annexes B2 and B3 Ft,RD, (Cross)
