Abstract
This document compares the definition and the verification of rotation capacity of steel joints and members and suggests a coherent definition. It describes the verification procedure of rotation capacity for members and joints and points out how deemed-tosatisfy criteria can be derived from scientific investigations. Finally special attention is given to component tests and theoretical studies aiming at the determination of their load deformation behaviour. The dominant influence of the component “column web in compression” is given special consideration when the rotation capacity of a joint is derived.
