Enhancing the Performance of Cold-Formed Steel Frames with Inner-Plate
摘要
This investigation examines the impact of screws and inner plates on the bending strength of assembled columns in cold-formed steel (CFS) buildings. It focuses on correcting load defects using computational modeling with ABAQUS. The technology entails constructing a CFS frame using a novel arrangement of inner plates, fastened with self-drilling screws to guarantee the integrity of the joints and enhance stability against horizontal forces. The ABAQUS models yield experimental findings that offer insights into the load and displacement behaviors. Additionally, profile capacity tests expose the structural endurance under incremental loading till failure. The results emphasize the crucial importance of accurate screw positioning and efficient inner plate design in strengthening the structural strength and load-carrying capability of CFS frames, showcasing its potential to enhance safety and efficiency in building methods.
