Behaviour of steel sheeting connections with self-drilling screws under variable loading

Abstract: Connections made by self-drilling screws are often used in steel cold-formed structures and sheeting. Their structural properties, such as resistance, flexibility and ductility are obtained by testing under monotonically increasing loading and can influence on overall behaviour of structures. This paper presents results of experimental study how variable load deteriorates those structural properties of lap shear connections with self-drilling screws. One monotonic and four variable loading histories were utilized, with displacement and force control. Applied loading histories were aimed to simulate persistent design situation, which referred to the conditions of normal use according to EN 1990. Deterioration of resistance and flexibility have been assessed for each variable loading history. It was observed that resistance deterioration is directly proportional to loading range. In case of flexibility, at small displacement range connectors become stiffer. Degradation of flexibility starts to increase at larger displacement range.
