Experimental characterisation of connection behaviour for cold‐formed steel panels sheathed with calcium silicate boards

Abstract: Construction trends aim towards the use of modular cold‐formed steel (CFS) wall panels, comprising of CFS studs and sheathing. Their capacity is influenced by different components employed, with the fastener connection between the sheathing board and the frame being the most critical. Furthermore, as repeated loading scenarios are expected to occur within the life cycle of a structure, it is important to address the uncertainty surrounding the connection behaviour under cyclic loading. A series of push‐out tests were carried out for cold‐formed steel sections sheathed with Calcium Silicate Board, using monotonic and cyclic loading protocols. The cyclic protocol employed focuses on the serviceability limit state with a repeated load‐unload step applied for 10 cycles. Two assembly arrangements, namely back‐to‐back and single stud arrangements were employed. Push‐out test results are presented and discussed herein. Recommendations for the test procedure and design of connection in sheathed cold‐formed steel shear walls are proposed.
