    A 3-way (v,k,t)(v,k,t) trade TT of volume mm consists of three pairwise disjoint collections T1T_1, T2T_2 and T3T_3, each of mm blocks of size kk, such that for every tt-subset of vv-set VV, the number of blocks containing this tt-subset is the same in each TiT_i for 1≀i≀31\leq i\leq 3. If any tt-subset of found(TT) occurs at most once in each TiT_i for 1≀i≀31\leq i\leq 3, then TT is called 3-way (v,k,t)(v,k,t) Steiner trade. We attempt to complete the spectrum S3s(v,k)S_{3s}(v,k), the set of all possible volume sizes, for 3-way (v,k,2)(v,k,2) Steiner trades, by applying some block designs, such as BIBDs, RBs, GDDs, RGDDs, and rΓ—sr\times s packing grid blocks. Previously, we obtained some results about the existence some 3-way (v,k,2)(v,k,2) Steiner trades. In particular, we proved that there exists a 3-way (v,k,2)(v,k,2) Steiner trade of volume mm when 12(kβˆ’1)≀m12(k-1)\leq m for 15≀k15\leq k (Rashidi and Soltankhah, 2016). Now, we show that the claim is correct also for k≀14k\leq 14
