The design shear resistance

EN 1993-1-8 Article 6.2.2 (8) specifies how the shear force resistance Fv,Rd should be calculated for base plate connections. The design friction resistance Ff,Rd is specified in the same article in part (6) and should be taken into account only in case compressive normal force. If normal force is tensile, then the Ff,Rd is equal to zero. In SCIA Engineer it is possible to neglect the friction resistance also in case compressive normal force. This can be done by deactivating the "Friction included" check box in concrete data of the connection. By default. this option is deactivated.

Nc,Ed

the design compressive force 

Cf,d

the friction coefficient between base plate and grout layer (≅ 0.20)

Note: In calculation of shear force resistance Fv,Rd , the rule described in EN 1993-1-8 Article 3.6 Table 3.4 (28% rule) is not being applied in base plate connections. This interaction of shear and tensile forces is already taken into account by coefficient αb in F2,vb,Rd formula given in EN 1993-1-8 Article 6.2.2 (7).
