Connections
This chapter discusses the types of connections generally used in cold‐formed steel structures, the design criteria for various types of connections, the requirements to fabricate I‐ or box‐shaped beams and columns by connecting two channels, and describes the spacing of connections in compression elements. Welds, bolts, cold rivets, screws, power‐actuated fasteners, and other special devices such as metal stitching and adhesives are generally used in cold‐formed steel connections. Welds used for building construction may be classified as either arc welds or resistance welds. The structural behavior of bolted connections in cold‐formed steel construction is somewhat different from that in hot‐rolled heavy construction, mainly because of the thinness of the connected parts. When compression elements are joined to other sections by connections, the connectors must be spaced close enough to provide structural integrity of the composite section.
