The paper summarises the existing results of the authors’ own research in the range of design of lap-joints with blind fasteners Huck BOM of cold-formed steel profiles. Formulae for their resistance and stiffness have been proposed with reference to the Eurocode EC3. Investigations are part of the research, which aims to develop the structural system of lightweight steel halls. The aim of this article is a comprehensive presentation of basic issues related to the design of bar structures with such connections.
