The effect of rigid board insulation on screw connections in cold-formed steel : a report submitted to the faculty of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Structural Engineering / by Anthony Jon Leonardelli. by Leonardelli, Anthony Jon. [author]., Milwaukee School of Engineering Subjects Exterior walls -- Thermal properties   Exterior walls -- Design and construction.   Steel -- Cold working -- Standards   Polystyrene.   MSST Project. Description:  131 leaves : illustrations, some of which are in color ; 29 cm. Contents:  Introduction -- Literature review -- Materials and methods -- Results -- Discussion of tests which failed due to system failures -- Discussion of tests which failed due to fastener rupture -- Discussion of serviceability -- Conclusion -- Appendix A: Load versus displacement plots. Changes in model energy code requirements have placed a greater emphasis on creating a complete building envelope by including a layer of rigid board insulation between screw fastened steel plies, i.e. the building framing members (cold-formed steel stud) and the exterior sheathing (sheet metal panel). This layer of insulation creates a gap between the fastened plies affecting connection stiffness, strength, and failure mode. The current cold-formed steel provisions do not take into account the presence of such a gap. In this study, shear tests were conducted to explore the effect of rigid board insulation, steel ply thickness, and screw diameter on screw connection strength and behavior. Connection failures are categorized into system failures and fastener failures. Test results indicate that, regardless of failure mode, connections with rigid board insulation thicknesses of 1 in. or greater exhibit reduced capacity and experience large displacements prior to failure. A design procedure is proposed in which connection geometry predicts connection failure mode, and strength adjustment factors are proposed for system and fastener failures. In addition, a simple model is developed to predict both displacement and stiffness based on connection geometry.
