"Les calculs des justifications d'assemblages sont à effectués selon l'eurocode EC5"
This is in the context of a technical document describing fasteners ("assemblages") in the construction of wooden bridges. As yet, I haven't located an English version of Eurocode EC5 to clarify my translation of "justifications" here.

design
In this case, maybe ''joint design''.
This section outlines the principles of joint design
using dowel-type fasteners in timber.
http://research.ttlchiltern.co.uk/pif294/tdk/geninfo/pdf/2-3...
It seems to cover ''spacing'', as used in this document:
http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu/doc/WS2008/EN1995_6_Hartl....
But ''justifications'' is used more broadly in this document:
http://www.enrdd.com/documents/documents/Construction-Ecocon...
For example:
Principe de justification aux états-limites ultimes des eurocodes 5.
In which ''justification'' seems to correspond to the use of the word ''design'':
Eurocode 5 introduces limit state design principles to
structural timber design in the UK for the first time.
