Steel Buildings in Europe

Part 5: Joint Design 5 - 92 The yield strength should be replaced with the ultimate strength. The partial safety factors (  M0 ,  M2 ) should also be replaced with the partial factor for tying resistance. (  Mu = 1,1). Note: 1. The structural integrity checks are based on the conservative assumption that the tie force is resisted by the two flange cover plates. 5. F tie is the tensile force from EN1991-1-7, § A.6.
