| Abstract |
Metallurgical connection methods, such as stud weld and puddle weld, have been used for a long time to attach a steel beam and a steel deck. Power actuated fasteners in sort of mechanical methods have appeared to be an alternative to metallurgical methods in the connection of a structural steel member and a thin steel plate. Power actuated fasteners can be driven by power actuated tools or by pneumatically driven tools. This mechanical connection method has many advantages over metallurgical connection methods. First of all, a power supply is unnecessary and there are no concerns about an electrical accident. However, the handling of the mechanical connection method takes severs caution. Since the sound at the time of installation is loud, discretion is needed in a quiet place. Above all, when a pin is installed in a steel beam, the cross-section of the steel beam is reduced. Therefore, the effect of the pin on the tensile properties of the steel beam is the focus of this research. The main parameters are steel plate thickness, notch size, steel type, and damage types, that is, non-damage, drilled hole, and driving pin. This research supplies the fundamental data to the design criterion of this mechanical method by clarifying the influence of the mechanical method on the tensile property of the structural steel member. In a test results, the strength of specimens using driving pin was not differenced that of normal specimen but decreased deformation capacities and elongation. |
