This document provides details of the design of a fixed beam-to-column connection according to EN 1993-1-8:2005/AC:2009. It includes the geometry, materials, and loads for the beam, column, plate, stiffeners, and bolts that make up the connection. Extensive calculations are shown to determine the resistances of various components, including the beam in compression, shear, and bending; the column in shear and transverse compression; and the plate, stiffeners, and bolts. The loads are verified to be below the calculated resistances, indicating the connection design is adequate for the given loads.
