This paper presents a number of experimental and theoretical investigations into the structural behaviour of cold-formed steel structures with bolted connections. Firstly, the basic deformation characteristics of bolted fastenings between cold-formed steel strips in lap shear tests is described, and advanced finite element modelling with solid elements as well as contact elements is carried out for comparison. Secondly, the structural behaviour of lapped Z sections with bolted moment connections is reported, and both analytical and numerical predictions on strength and stiffness of lapped Z sections are presented. Finally, the structural performance of double span lapped Z purlins is investigated numerically where the effects of lapped Z sections over internal supports on the internal force distributions along the purlin members are examined. The description is intended to provide both analysis and design methods as well as understandings to structural engineers, enabling them to design and build cold-formed steel structures rationally with improved structural performance.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ultimate behaviors of aluminum alloy bolted connections assembled with four bolts. Specimens for single shear bolted connections were tested and finite element analysis based on this test results was conducted. The validity of finite element(FE) analysis for predicting the structural behaviors such as ultimate strength, fracture mode and curling(out-of-plane deformation) occurrence was verified through the comparisons between test results and FE analysis results. It is known that the curling resulted in sudden strength drop. Moreover, FE models with free edge and restrained out-of-plane deformation for curled specimens are analyzed additionally, therefore, the influence of curling on the ultimate strength; strength reduction ratio is estimated.

The objectives of this paper are base characteristics of single-shear joints in elements of agglomerated wood. These characteristics (deformation and embedment strength) are determined on the basis of destructive laboratory testing (proceeded according to valid standards for destructive laboratory testing). Second part of this paper describes comparison of numerically and laboratory determined bearing capacity of these joints.
