Abstract: The paper briefly reports on investigations concerning the robustness of steel and composite structures. When applying the alternate load path method for redistributing the loads resulting from a column loss especially the detailed consideration of the behaviour of beam‐to‐column joints is important. A crucial aspect is the investigation of the available rotation capacity of the joints as well as the required rotation capacity of the joints. Finally a method is presented that can be used in order to verify the rotation capacity for permanent load situation as well as for accidental load situations.
