This chapter corresponds to Section 11 of EN 1994-1-1, which has the following clauses
Clause 11 is based on research on beam-to-column and beam-to-beam joints of the types used in steel and composite frames for buildings, so its scope has been limited to ‘frames for buildings’. The definition of composite joints to which clause 11.1(1) refers includes joints between composite and reinforced concrete members. These could occur, for example, in a tower block with a concrete core and composite floors. No application rules are given for them, but EN 1992-4, ‘Design of fastenings for use in concrete’ may be useful (BSI, 2018). Other references are Henderson (2017) and Kuhlmann et al. (2014).
