Experimental Study of Cold-Formed Steel Moment Connections with Screw Fasteners

Abstract:

A series of connection with screw fasteners were tested to study the behavior of cold-formed steel moment connection. The test specimens included hot-rolled parallel flange channels, cold-formed lipped C-Channels, and self-drilling self-fastening screws. Two different lipped C-Channels and a various number of screws per connection were used in this study. The moment-rotation behavior, rotational rigidity, and the connection capacity differed with the number of screws. The connection behaved as a pinned connection when 4 screws were used. However, local buckling was observed in the cold-formed steel sections near the connection when 8, 10 and 14 screws were used. The connection test results were compared with theoretical results calculated in accordance to the Australian Standards. None of the connection tested could achieve the moment capacity of the section connected.
