Design Method on Shear Behavior of Single Tapping Screw Connections in Cold-Formed Thin-Wall Steel Structures

Abstract:

In order to investigate the design method of single tapping screw connections between steel plate and non-steel plate and the applicability of calculating the shear capacity of single tapping screw connections with sheet steel under 2mm according to Chinese code Technical code for design of cold-formed thin-wall steel structures(GB50018-2002),theoretical analysis was carried out on single tapping screw connections, which were distinguished by connection forms called steel plate-steel plate connections and steel plate-non-steel plate connections. The results show that: Chinese code GB50018-2002 is suited to calculate the shear capacity of single tapping screw connections with sheet steel under 2mm and the results are safe compared with test results. The design method of single tapping screw connections between steel plate and non-steel plate is given on the basis of test results.
