Abstract

The interaction between steel frames and their connections is explained, and the connection dimensioning method according to EC 3 is presented. Four basic terms related to novel approach to connection dimensioning are described. These terms are: characterization, classification, modeling and idealization. An emphasis is placed on advantages of component method, adopted in EC 3, when compared to the procedure currently used for connection modeling. Economic bases for the use of the new connection dimensioning method are also explained.

Keywords
