“…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.

For all building structures national and international Codes are important in the design process. This is also true for connections in cold‐formed building structures. Lightweight construction has developed rapidly in this field, but the Codes, by their very nature are far slower in their development. For this reason a number of connection types are not fully covered, or not covered at all, by the existing Codes. Designers thus face a different situation with respect to connections than for usual steel buildings. This paper describes the relation between traditional connection systems and existing Codes. The ideal situation should be that the development of connection systems and their treatment in Codes (fastener and structural codes) should be well balanced for appropriate application in the building industry. But, because of the comparatively slow development of the Codes, new developments (clinching, air driven pins and adhesive bonding) require guidance on how to proceed in design. For selection of a connection system the important structural and non‐structural parameters are surveyed. With the use of these parameters it should be possible to choose system, a fit for purpose i.e. a reliable (safe and durable) and economical system.

“…The reason for this is the complexity of the joint [4] and the wide variation of tools and materials which affects the mechanical behaviour of the joint. Limited research has been done to investigate the mechanical behaviour of multiple clinched joints in configurations and the way they affect each other in terms of maximum strength [5,6]. This knowledge is important to serve as a basis for design rules for clinched joints in structures which can help to establish the joining technique in structural design.…”

Clinch joining or clinching is a mechanical joining technique for sheet material. In this paper, the mechanical behaviour of multiple clinched joints under mixed-mode loads (peel, shear and pull-out) is investigated using a modified Arcan test. The experimental results are compared with a proposed equivalent model for clinched joints to validate if the model can reproduce the deformation behaviour up to maximum force. The theoretical maximum resistance force of the configurations are then compared to the experimental maximum resistances to investigate the influence of interaction effects on the maximum strength of the configuration. This study is part of a global design strategy for clinched joints in large structures.
