The values for the partial safety factors for joints are from Eurocode EN 1993-1-8: 2002, Table 2.1.
| Recommended partial safety factors γΜ for joints |
|---|
| Resistance of: members and cross-sections |
γΜ0, γΜ1, γΜ2 see EN 1993-1-1:2005 |
| Resistance of: bolts, rivets, pins, welds, and plates in bearing |
γΜ2 |
| Slip resistance for: hybrid connections, connections under fatigue loading, other design situations |
γΜ3 |
| Bearing resistance of an injection bolt |
γΜ4 |
| Resistance of joints in hollow section lattice girder |
γΜ5 |
| Resistance of pins at serviceability limit state |
γΜ6,ser |
| Preload of high strength bolts |
γΜ7 |
| Resistance on concrete |
γC see EN 1992 |
Recommended values are as follows:
γΜ2 = 1.25
γΜ3 = 1.25 for hybrid connections or connections under fatigue loading
γΜ3 = 1.1 for other design situations
γΜ4 = γΜ5 = γΜ6,ser = 1.0
γΜ7 = 1.1

Joints subject to fatigue should also satisfy the principles in Eurocode EN 1993-1-9.
