According to Clause 6.2.2 (6) of EN 1993‑1‑8:2010‑12, you can apply friction using the friction coefficient to design the shear capacity. If an acting compressive force is present, the calculated sliding resistance may be compared to the acting horizontal force. Using the appropriate option, you can take this influence into account in RF‑/JOINTS Steel - Column Base.
