Specific behaviour of thin-walled member joints with fasterners
Abstract
Connections of thin-walled structural members, due to small plate thickness compared to classical steel profiles, are suspectable to series of characteristics. Theoretical and experimental research of behaviour of thin-walled member connections with mechanical festeners: bolts and screws are shown in this paper. Shear and tension behaviour are analysed separately. Obtained experimental results are compared to curent design European and American codes. Characteristic shear and tension resistances of selftapping screws are also determined.
