Investigation On Behavior Of Cold Formed Steel In Beam Column Connections

Cheralathan R, Swedha T

Abstract


Cold form steel structures are used for numerous purposes in construction industry. An attempt has been made in this study to check the behavior of beam column connections by using self-tapered screw in cold form steel section theoretical, experimentally and analytically. Finally, the experimental results are compared with analytical results. This study aims at the following objective by test performed on cold formed steel section to check the behavior connections. Studies on the structural behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) beam are increasingly popular in the last decades. Instability phenomena, such a failure of joints due to shearing and bearing their interactions are the most interesting and complex subjects within this research field. Understanding and dealing with these phenomena has been central focus of research efforts. The behavior of Load carrying capacity of Light gauge beam column joints is studied. And the failure patterns of this section were extracted. A cold formed steel beam has been adopted for a span of 600 mm and column 800 mm it is verified with finite element analysis using ABAQUS software. Comparison between the theoretical and experimental results is presented and the agreements obtained are reasonably good.

Keywords: Self drilling screws, cold form steel, shearing and bearing.
