Abstract

The design of pin connections between steel members has been established for many years in design codes. However, recently, in the scope of the revision of Eurocode 3, Part 1–8 (EN 1993–1-8), questions were raised concerning the safety of the corresponding design verifications. This paper identifies two main aspects that require revision, namely: (i) the possibility to design a pin as a bolt in shear and (ii) the verification of the resistance of the pin itself. Based on a thorough literature review, experimental tests and a parametric study, a new proposal submitted to CEN as an amendment to the code, is presented to solve these two identified issues.
