All tokamaks are designed to withstand a certain number of energetic electromagnetic (EM) transients caused by uncontrolled terminations of plasma pulses, including symmetric and asymmetric plasma vertical displacement events: VDEs and AVDEs. These events generate significant pulsed EM loads in all conductive components and coils. Axially symmetric transient EM loads induced by VDEs without Halo current have been calculated well since the 1980s; however, Halo-related EM load components and lateral loads associated with AVDEs still cause discussions. The author worked on fast plasma and EM transients in tokamaks quite a while ago then deviated to other areas but has been keeping track of the topic since. He is aware of discussions of the modelling of Halo currents and of significant scatter present in current estimates for AVDE-induced lateral loads and contends that some points of engineering logic formulated earlier on this topic may help reduce these uncertainties. This article summarises a few points of the engineering understanding developed in informal discussions within the ITER EDA team with the purpose to preserve these points for all tokamak developments.

Extended stiffened end-plate connections are widely used in seismic area due to their good performance in terms of both resistance and ductility. The most of existing studies focused on the all-steel behavior of these joints, disregarding the composite action of the concrete slab that is generally disconnected. However, the presence of the concrete slab can have beneficial effects on the structural stiffness for both gravity and lateral loads. Hence, most of the building frames are usually designed considering steel-concrete composite solution. However, the slab can strongly influence the hierarchy between beam and column and the ductility of the joint. In this paper the influence of composite deck on the response of extended stiffened end-plate joins has been investigated by means of finite element analyses (FEAs). In particular, the following details have been investigated: (i) all steel joints without slab; (ii) steel joint with disconnected slab; (iii) composite joint.
