presented only those verifications which are giving the smallest resistance (or work ratio).

13 Equivalent T-Stub method - introduction
This method is used for the End Plate Bending Resistance.

1. Design resistance of a T-Stub, if the prying effect is not developed, (Lb>Lb*):
EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.4.1 (7)
Tension resistance for the 1-2 failure mode (yield in bending of connection):
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2

Tension resistance of the plate for the third mode of failure:
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2
2. Design resistance of a T-Stub, if the prying effect is developed, (Lb<Lb*):
EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.4.1 (6)
Tension resistance of the plate/flange for the first mode of failure (complete yielding of the connection at
bending of the plate/flange):
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2

Tension resistance of the plate for the second mode of failure (yielding of the connection at bending with
bolt failure in tension):
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2

Tension resistance of the plate for the third mode of failure (bolt failure):
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2
Plastic resistances of the plates for the failure modes
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2
(If there are backing plates):
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.2

Lb - is the bolt elongation length, taken as equal to the grip length (total thickness of material and
washers), plus half the sum of the height of the bolt head and the height of the nut.
EN 1993-1-8, Table 6.11
nr - number of rows (nr>1, for groups).

Failure Patterns Effective Lengths
lcp - row effective length for a circular failure pattern;
lcpg - group effective length for a circular failure pattern;
lnc - row effective length for a non-circular failure pattern;
lncg - group effective length for a non-circular failure pattern;
leff1 - the effective length for the first mode of failure (minimum between effective length of the circular
or non-circular failure pattern);
leff2 - the effective length for the second mode of failure (non-circular failure pattern);
Not applicable! (6.2.6.8)
Bolt row tension resistance
The minimum resistance for rows and groups is calculated as the minimum resistance between:
- End Plate Bending Resistance; EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.6.5
- Beam Web Tension Resistance; EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.6.8
Effective resistance of a row in a group is calculated as the difference between the group minimum
resistance and the rest of the rows minimum resistance:
The effective resistance of the row is equal to the effective resistance of a row in a group or the row
minimum resistance, whichever is the smallest.
If the Effective Resistance of one of the previous bolt-rows is greater than 1.9 times the tension resistance
of the bolt, the effective design tension resistance will be recalculated:
EN 1993-1-8, 6.2.7.2 (9)

If the total effective tension resistance of the rows exceeds the compression resistance, the effective
resistances are reduced starting with the most solicited row until the equilibrium is achieved.
