The Performance of Double Sheathed Composite Walling Made from Profiled Steel Sheeting and Dry Board

Abstract:

This paper presents the performance of an emerging prefabricated composite system made from profiled steel sheeting and dry board. Six full-scale wall specimens were prepared and tested under axial load. The results of the experimental investigation showed that the performance of the composite walls is governed by the strength of profiled steel sheeting while the dry board performed as a wall sheathed. A partial interaction between the profiled steel sheeting and dry board was achieved by using self-drilling screws. The maximum axial load capacity is 1329kN for the double sheathed wall. The failure behavior of single and double sheathed composite wall exhibited similar pattern such as global buckling and cracking. The developed composite wall system was found the great potential in prefabricated and modular construction in Malaysia.
