National Annex to
Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures -
Part 1-8: Joints
_______________________________________________________________________

Foreword
In connection with the incorporation of Eurocodes into Danish building legislation to replace the
Danish structural codes of practice, this National Annex was prepared in 2006-2007 to implement
Eurocode 3 in Denmark.

Scope
This National Annex lays down the conditions for the implementation of the Eurocode.

Contents

This National Annex specifies the national choices prescribed in Denmark.

The national choices may be in the form of nationally applicable values, an option between methods
given in the Eurocode, or the addition of supplementary guidance.

This National Annex addresses:

• Clauses where national choices have been made;

• All clauses where national choices have been possible;
• Bibliography: Overview of all National Annexes prepared.

Clauses where national choices have been made
Clause National choice

1.2.6 (Group No information on standards for rivets is given.

6: Rivets)

2.2(2) The following values should be used:

γM2 = 1,35γ3
γM3 = 1,35γ3
γM3,ser = 1,20γ3
γM4 = 1,10γ3
γM5 = 1,10γ3
γM6,ser = 1,10γ3
γM7 = 1,20γ3

The factor γ3 takes account of the inspection level of the product. The relaxed
inspection level is not used.
Tightened inspection level: γ3 = 0,95
Normal inspection level: γ3 = 1,00

The partial factors are determined in accordance with the National Annex to
DS/EN 1990, Annex F, where γM = γ1 γ2 γ3 γ4.
γ1 considers the type of failure
γ2 considers the uncertainty related to the design model
γ3 considers the extent of inspection
γ4 considers the variation of the strength parameter or resistance.

When determining γ1 the following types of failure should be applied:

γM4 : Warning of failure with spare resistance
γM5 : Warning of failure with spare resistance
γM6,ser : Warning of failure with spare resistance
γM3,ser: Warning of failure without spare resistance
γM7: Warning of failure without spare resistance
γM2: No warning of failure
γM3: No warning of failure

For accidental and seismic design situations the following values should be
used: γMi = 1,0 where i = 2, 3, 3,ser, 4, 5, 6,ser or 7

3.1.1(3) All bolt classes stated may be used.

EN 1993-1-8 DK NA, 2007-11-14, 2nd edition
3.4.2(1) Preloading of bolts to consider other aspects than resistance and stiffness
should be determined, as required, on the basis of an assessment of each
individual case.
