In the present paper, innovative joint configurations leading to more economicalsolutions for full-strength beam-to-column joints for seismic building frames aredetailed. The specificities of these joints are due to the fact that (i) the column ismade of high strength steel while the beam are made of mild carbon steel and (ii)the design of some components allows partially neglecting the overstrength factor.Also, methods for the characterisation of specific joint components not directly coveredby the Eurocode recommendations are proposed.
