The shear behaviour of press-joining in cold-formed steel structures

This paper describes a relatively new joining technique for cold formed steel structures called press joining. Press joining is a technique whereby a joint is created from the sheets to be connected, requiring no additional fixing items. A series of shear test results are given. The effect of UTS, s...

Description
Summary:This paper describes a relatively new joining technique for cold formed steel structures called press joining. Press joining is a technique whereby a joint is created from the sheets to be connected, requiring no additional fixing items. A series of shear test results are given. The effect of UTS, steel thickness and angle of inclination of the join on both strength and deformation characteristics of the press join are discussed. A theoretical expression based on the results is developed linking all of the influencing factors to the shear strength of the join.
