There is a significant possibility of improving the load bearing capacities calculated according to the existing Standards of spatial connections with thin walled metal nailing plates. The reason is that the design of these connecting elements has inadequate support in the existing Standards and Technical Reports. The improvement can make them more consistent with the results from tests. Therefore, research has been called to improve this state of the art. The paper presents the whole experimental study of angle brackets which consists of full-scale experiments, numerical models of the connections, current analytical calculation approaches and proposals how to improve them
