Abstract
Within the project to review Eurocode 5 also the chapter "Connections" was redrafted and updated. The existing content in the 2004 edition of Eurocode 5 was updated regarding harmonisation, reduction of number of National Determined Parameters (NDP's), simplification, effective material usage (positive effect on climate change) and safety. A special focus was put to the ease of use while new design rules were integrated into the chapter. New design rules for glued in rods, brittle failure modes such as row shear, shear plug and block shear as well as modern carpentry connections, and others. In this paper an overview and insight in the developments of the new chapter "Connections" in Eurocode 5 is be given.
