Abstract – The study proposes a comparison between the analytical verifications
provided in Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures Part 1-8: Design of joints for a
beam-column joint with reduced end plate and the same verifications performed by
the IDEA StatiCa software. The starting point was a metal structure project with a
height regime of P+1, with a span of 6 meters, an opening of 6 meters and a level
height of 3.70 meters, designed for the area of Constanta. The steel structure was
designed with one direction centrically braced and the other unbraced. The structure
has 13 cm thick composite concrete floors and the terrace on the top level is non
accessible. The joint analyzed in this paper is located in the braced direction.
Keywords – reduced end-plate joint.
