This thesis presents the results of 81 tests on the design strength of power-actuated fasteners, in single shear connections for a light gauge steel framing (LGSF), as an alternative to screws. This type of connection can be employed to install a reinforcing plate on one or both sides of the frame, to connect steel strap cross bracing to framing, as well as for many other applications. They provide a very efficient and practical solution which would increase productivity and work quality by replacing time-consuming screw connections. Modes of failure for both the fastener and the connected material are covered, to provide an understanding of the structural performance of nailed single lap connections and develop recommendations and proposed formulae. The investigation covers a wide range of steel gauges commonly used in LGSF residential and commercial applications. Two groups of tests were performed. The first group of tests was conducted to determine the shear strength of connectors with two types of them being tested. The second tests series were carried out in various steel grade and gauge configurations for assembled connections. The results of this research will be used to establish the strength prediction model for power-actuated fasteners embedded into LGSF and applicable to New Zealand practice. |
