Important Notes: 1) These Connections are applicable to bracing members subjected to only Axial Load.
2) Grouping of the members is done on the basis of a fixed range of width of the connecting side for a similar shape of the sections.
3) The Connection Capacity tabulated above is for the section (among the group of members) for a profile with minimum leg size and thickness. It would definitely be
higher for other members in the same group.
4) The connection capacity is the factored axial member load as per ENV 1993-1-1:1992
5) For a member with end connection detail other than as specified and/or member force higher than the specified value in the table, the connection has to be designed
and developed as a special one.
6) The capacities calculated are valid for S355JR ( British) and Q345B ( Chinese) grade of steel.
