Gleitfeste Verbindungen nach Eurocode 3 und DIN EN 1090-2

Slip-resistant connections according to Eurocode 3 and DIN EN 1090-2.

Slip-resistant connections in steel structures permit bolted connections with low slip and deformation, which are mainly used in structures, in which deformations of the connections would limit the serviceability of the structures. Typical applications can be found in radio masts, bridges and towers of wind turbines, which are loaded by fatigue. Essential characteristics of these connections are the slip factor and the preload in the bolts. The new execution standard for steel structures, DIN EN 1090-2, provides in contrast to DIN 18800-7 the possibility of considering different surface treatments by various classes and with Annex G, it provides a detailed test method to determine the slip factor taking into account possible creep effects. The differences in the testing methodology in comparison to the TL/TP-KOR-Stahlbauten are in the details and can lead to unfavourable slip factors.
