The paper presents the details of anchoring the structural steel elements to the high volume reinforced concrete piers at two specific civil engineering structures recently have been built in Budapest, Hungary. Besides satisfying the load bearing requirements, the aspects of the special building technology and the demand for geometrical regulation of the structures during the construction had to be also taken into account at the design stage of the connections. To satisfy the latter two aspects creating special joins allowing free axial movement and rotation of the steel elements during the execution was necessary. The whole structures are also outlined shortly in relation to the local behaviour of the anchorages.
