Behaviour of Self-Tapping Screws Under Shear
Fasteners are the backbone of steel construction industries. Various researches are being done on the different types of connectors. Self-tapping screws are one fastener used widely in cold-formed steel frame construction industries. Self-tapping screws are designed to cut their hole as it is screwed into the materials. This study presents an experimental investigation on static behaviour of self-tapping screw subjected to shear by varying the orientation, number of screws and thickness of material on which it is driven. In this experiment, two plates were connected by the self-tapping screw in a single lap connection. The tensile force was applied on the plates so that the screws were made to undergo shear failure. The group effect of screws and the reduction factor adopted in multiple screw arrangements have been studied. The stiffness of the connectors was analysed. The connection with more screws and thicker plates was found to be stiffer.
