Abstract: A total of 105 cross-tension tests were conducted to investigate the strength and behavior of power-actuated fastener (PAF) connections under quasi-static monotonic tensile loading. Three types of PAF were used to join ...

Abstract: This study proposes an innovative type of simple connection utilizing power-actuated fasteners to join a cold-formed steel channel to a rectangular hollow section column via a web-side plate or a T-section. An experimental ...

Abstract: This research proposes an innovative method utilizing power-actuated fasteners (PAFs) for the shear connection joining cold-formed steel (CFS) plates to hot-rolled steel (HRS) plates. An experimental program comprising 66 ...
