This Excel workbook covers the design of nominally pinned joints in accordance with EN 1993-1-8

Joint types are partial depth flexible end plates, fin plates, double angle cleats, column splices (bearing type) an
The workbook offers the alternative of different languages, and selection of National Annex values from the "
National Annex value may be overwritten, and default values may be stored
Basic selection of section type, section, grade of main member, plates and bolts is made on the "

Each joint type is covered on a different worksheet. The default connection detail will be the recommended stan
Connection details may be changed on each worksheet. The connection resistance will update.
The standardised details can be restored at any stage
A more detailed table of the resistance of each connection component can be viewed, and printed.
Some toolbars and features have been hidden - these will be restored as the spreadsheet closes.
The design guides have been prepared under the direction of Arcelor Mittal, Peiner Trger and Corus.
The technical content has been prepared by CTICM and SCI, collaborating as the Steel Alliance.

IPE A 550 column, S275

750 x 450 x 20 mm S275 Baseplate
M20 bolts at 350 by 650 mm
Grade 30 concrete

Vertical Resistance = 1793 kN

Beta = 2/3, which assumes that the grout strength is at least 20% of the concrete strength, and
the thickness is no morethan 20% of the smallest plate dimension
It is assumed that the design bearing strength of the joint material fjd is equal to the design bearing
strength of concrete in compression, fcd. This means that (Ac1/Aco)^0.5 = 1.5

Calculations in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-8:2005 and UK NA to BS EN 1993-1-1:2005

Design checks follow the guidance in Access Steel and ECCS Publication 126 (2009)
Whilst every effort has been taken to ensure that the calculations are correct, the user
must verify the output. Neither Arcelor Mittal, Piene Trager, Corus or its agents assume
responsibility for the appropriate use of this software.
