Abstract
The aim of this work was to create numerical models of the common truss-type assembling joints of L-profiles. Two different models were created – basic (simplified) model of joint and more accurate model which corresponds to the experimental specimens in preparation. Models with different end-plate thicknesses and consequently with different failure modes were solved. The results obtained from numerical models were compared with the analytical solution of such joints using the Eurocode procedure recommended in EN 1993-1-8. These results are planned to be verified and further developed based on planned experiments.
