4. Conclusion
The complete calculation of beam connections using Eurocode 3 methodologies remains a tricky business. Calculating the resistance of a connection requires determining the resistance of the various components and associating them. In addition, the Eurocode requires justification of the modelling hypothesis used, i.e. embedment for bolted end plate connections and articulation for bolted web angles. For bolted end plate connections, it is necessary to justify that the initial rotational stiffness of the connection is sufficient. In the case of web angle connections, the rotation of the connection must remain below a limit value.
It is often advisable to use a computerized connection calculation based on Eurocode 3 part 1-8. On its website, CTICM makes available, free of charge, applications for the calculation of various fasteners: PlatineX for bolted plate connections,...
