Two different types, one is the OSB panel perpendicular to the cold-formed thin steel and another the OSB panel parallel to the cold-formed thin steel, of self-tapping screw joints of cold-formed steel frame shear walls are tested under the monotonic loading. The load-displacement curves of the test specimens are obtained and the ultimate loads Fu and the corresponding displacements δu of two different types are analyzed. Fianlly, the conclusion that the influence from the direction between OSB and cold-formed thin steel to the performance of tapping screw joints is not significant is pointed up.

The current edition of Eurocode 8 does not cover the design of the Cold-Formed steel (CFS) building structures under the seismic design condition. As part of the revision process of Euro-code 8 to reflect the outcomes of extensive research carried out in the past decade, University of Naples “Federico II” is involved in the validation of existing seismic design criteria and development of new rules for the design of CFS systems. In particular, different types of Lateral Force Resisting System (LFRS) are analyzed that can be listed in the second generation of Eurocode 8. The investigated LFRS’s include CFS strap braced walls and CFS shear walls with steel sheets, wood, or gypsum sheathing. This paper provides the background information on the research works and the reference design standards, already being used in some parts of the world, which formed the basis of design criteria for these LFRS systems. The design criteria for the LFRS-s common to CFS buildings would include rules necessary for ensuring the dissipative behavior, appropriate values of the behavior factor, guidelines to predict the design strength, geometrical and mechanical limitations.
