N° 124 : Design of Composite Joints for Buildings
English, February 1999
The Testing of Connections with Mechanical Fasteners in Steel Sheeting and Sections

This document replaces the earlier publication by the European Convention of Constructional Steelwork, “European Recommendations for the Testing of Connections in Profiled Steel Sheeting and Sections”, Publication no. 21, first published in 1977 and revised in 1983. Since this publication, the use of profiled steel and cold-formed steel has grown considerably, particularly in the use of coldformed steel sections in structural framing. The current document has been restructured to conform to guidance in current Eurocodes, which have also been introduced since 1983. The document has been prepared by the Technical Working Group 7.10, part of the ECCS Technical Committee TC7, Cold-formed steel structures.

N° 109 : Design of Composite Joints for Buildings
English, February 1999
Across the world, widespread use is made of structural steelwork in frames for multi-storey buildings. Important factors which influence this include speed of construction , adaptability for future use and the low cost of the basic structure. The most cost-effective structural option is often composite steel-concrete construction, whether in the form of composite steel beams and slabs or slim floor systems.
This publication describes how beam-to-column and beam-to-beam connections may be deliberately designed with composite action to provide quantifiable end restraint. Guidance on global analysis of frames is included, with both elastic and plastic methods considered. Thus the effects of joint behaviour at serviceability and ultimate limit states can be accounted for. Composite joints require little additional site work in return for substantial benefits in terms of greater load capacity, better performance in service and reductions in steel section. Their use in recent practice includes the prestigious Millennium Tower in Vienna.

N° 79: European Recommendations for Bolted Connections with Injection Bolts
English, August 1994, 40 pp
In this document, the ECCS Committee TC10 "Structural Connections" presents recommendations for the application, design calculation and installation of bolted connections with injection bolts. These are bolts in which the cavity produced by the clearance between the bolt and the wall of the hole is completely filled up with a two-component resin. After injection and curing of the resin, the connection is slip resistant.
Injection bolts have been successfully applied in the Netherlands since 1970. Important applications are road and railway bridges, cranes and crane runway girders. The application in other countries, however, has been far less, mainly because of the lack of accepted guidelines. ECCS TC10 trusts that these recommendations will remove this obstacle.

N° 64: Acceptance Inspection of Grade 10.9 Structural Fasteners intended for controlled tightening
English, 1991, 25pp
In view of the stress-levels in high strength structural fasteners, and considering the absolute aim of maintaining the clamping forces in the joints during the life-time of the structure, acceptance inspection based only on ISO 3269 is not sufficient. Therefore additional acceptance criteria have been developed.
However in order to avoid excessively high inspection costs, homogeneity of lots has been taken into consideration in order to reduce the number of tests.
