Design model
The design model is shown in Figure 1.1. The design procedure refers to an accidental limit
state.

EN1993-1-8 does not give any guidance on tying resistance of connections. However,
because large strains and large deformations are associated with the failure modes given in
Table 1.1, it is recommended that ultimate tensile strengths (fu) can be used for calculating the
tying resistance and the partial factor for tying M,u can be taken as 1,1.
The tying resistance and mode of failure of the connection is the value and mode that has the
lowest resistance of all the possible modes of failure. For rules for each of the modes of
failure, refer to Table 1.1 below.
