Summary/Abstract: Issues related to safety requirements for steel elements subjected to different stress resultants in reference to limit states design philosophy according to Structural Eurocodes PN-EN and national codes PN-B are dealt with in the paper. The calibration of partial cross-section resistance factors is discussed on the basis of elements of steel floor structures where the permanent load component and the live load component of variable actions are the only components of load combinations. Final conclusions for their practical application in the codification process are formulated and values of partial factors for cross section resistance are proposed.
