Two sets of tests were performed to check the prediction -tests at University in Coimbra and tests prepared at Czech Technical University in Prague. The procedure for the interaction is already available for base plates. The paper presents application of this model to beam-to-column connections and beam splices and verification of the model to available tests. Key Words: steel structures, structural connections, end plate connection, beam-to-column connection, moment – normal force interaction, design model, component method.

The work is based on three sets of tests: experiments on connections with more bolt rows and different bolt forming technology performed at the CRIF laboratory in Liege, experiments with long slots completed at the Laboratory of Technical University Nottingham, and

It is based on second-order in-plane elasticity, and has been derived in order to exhibit an understandable physical background, as well as accuracy and consistency with the other resistance and stability formulae of the
