In accordance with EN 1993-1-8, Art 6.2.7.2 (2) for bolted end-plate connections, the center of compression is assumed to be in line with the center of the compression flange of the connected member.
Within SCIA Engineer:
The inclination of the beam/haunch flange is taken into account in calculation of leverage arm for Mj,Rd determination.
The size of the haunch weld ac has no impact on the location of the center of compression. (See also chapter: "Haunch with flange")
In the splice connections, the positions of center of compression for each side may be located differently. Maximum difference may be equal to the minimum thickness of the adjacent beam/haunch flanges from both sides. For any further calculations, the center of compression is taken from the side, where the bolts have been activated.
