Abstract
Construction of nested balanced incomplete block (BIB) designs, nested balanced ternary designs and rectangular designs from given nested BIB designs and resolvable BIB designs are described. New constructions ofq-ary codes from nested BIB designs and balanced bipartite weighing designs are also given.
