ABSTRACT: Connect4C is a research project funded by the European Union, which aims to develop a system of high-strength steel connections for circular steel construction. It focuses on developing ready-to-use, standardized solutions for demountable, reusable, and adaptable 3D connections, taking advantage of the enhanced performance of advanced steel grades. The project considers the development of three most-used joint types: beam-to-column simple joints, beam-to-column moment-resisting joints and column splices. The combination of these three joints covers the requirements of most building structures. The paper presents the general approach of the project, the objectives pursued, and the development being carried out for the development of the system, considering specific tests and analyses
