Abstract:
In building construction, cold-formed steel flexural members are commonly connected to other cold-formed steel members or the main building structures using clip angles with screws. A series of flexural tests were recently conducted at University of North Texas to study the shear strength of cold-formed steel clip angles used in cold-formed steel framing. The tests showed that the shear strength of the connected cold-formed steel floor joists can be significantly increased when a clip angle is installed on the web. This paper presents a design guide to consider the shear strength improvement in the cold-formed steel joists due to the presence of a clip angle. The paper also reports the results of the flexural tests on floor joists recently conducted at the University of North Texas. © 2020 by the Structural Stability Research Council. All Rights Reserved.
