“…On the one hand, traditional connecting systems are available, such as rivets, bolts, screws and pins. On the other hand, a number of new connecting techniques are being developed: new types of rivets [5 ,6] and clinching systems [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Self-drilling screws exhibit a good behaviour, both in terms of strength and ductility [6,8].…”

Connections in x -braced shear walls play a crucial role in the seismic performance of lightweight structures: they should be strong enough to allow energy dissipation via plastification of the diagonal straps. An extensive experimental research on tensile screwed joints between straps is reported here. Two dominant failure modes are identified: (1) tilting and net section failure (T+NSF) and (2) tilting, bearing and pull out (T+B+PO). The analysis in terms of strength and ductility shows that T+NSF joints are suitable for seismic design, because the straps yield before the connections fail. T+B+PO joints, on the contrary, are not suited because the connection fails before the straps can yield. The influence of various design parameters (strap thickness, number and diameter of screws, steel grade) in the failure mode is studied, and design criteria to induce a T+NSF response are given.

“…The comparison between the test results and the proposed design method is provided in Tables 8 and 9. Comparison between the proposed design method with the existing test results from other researchers [2,19,31] is provided in Table 10. Table 10 show that proposed method is in good agreement with the others' test data, and deviation is within 7%.…”

“…In the assembling process of thin-walled structures, connections using blind rivet, clinching, welding or self-drilling screw are commonly employed [2]. The self-drilling screw is the most common type of connection in cold-formed steel structures, however the installation process can be generally complex due to the need for clamping plate, drilling, tightening screws and other steps, which may seriously reduce efficiency of industrial production for components in prefabricated cold-formed thin-walled steel structure [3].…”

“…Schematic diagram of the forming process of a SPR joint [10] The previous research on SPR joints has been concentrated on the forming mechanism and fatigue behavior for ductile thick steel plates [8,9,11], the study on SPR connections with thin-walled steel sheets is limited. Mucha and Lennon [2,12] studied various connections using SPRs, selfdrilling screws, clinching and blind rivets. They found that SPR gave the highest stiffness and ultimate load among all investigated connection methods.…”

The paper presents an experimental investigation on the shear strength of self-piercing rivet connections used in thin-walled steel structures. The test program included specimen variations in the number of rivets in each connection, rivet spacing, end distance, and steel sheet thickness. According to the experimental results, the curve of load-slip, peak load, and failure mechanism for all specimens were analyzed. Parameters of riveting in terms of end distance, spacing, arrangement, length, and thickness difference between connection components were studied on their effects for shearing performances of self-piercing rivet connections. A design method based on the model of transmission dynamics of infectious diseases was proposed for calculating the shear strength of the rivet connections. The strength reduction due to the effect of group rivets was considered in the new method.ii
