INVESTIGATION OF BOLTED CONNECTION BETWEEN COLD/HOT-FORMED STEEL PLATES UNDER STATIC SHEAR LOADING Mohammad Dehnadi1*, Parham Memarzadeh1, Aazam Ghassemi2, Mohsen Hassani2 1- Department of Civil Engineering, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran 2- Department of Mechanical Engineering, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran ABSTRACT: Nowadays steel shear walls are popular as a resistive system for the lateral load affecting on the buildings. To design such a wall, especially for higher floors, bolted connections are suggested due to the facts that the thickness of the applied plates reduces, also welding thin plates faces some limitations. In applying steel shearing walls a plate made of hot-rolled steel which is in common called as Fish plate, is used which is applied as a medium between the shearing wall and the elements around beams and columns. In this article, the connections between cold-formed steel sheets and hot-rolled ones under the static shearing load are tested. Based on the provided results and studying load-displacement behavior of the specimens, the functions of the aforementioned connections are explained regarding the load tolerance and the style of failure. KEYWORDS: Bolted Connection, Cold-Formed Steel Sheets, Hot-Rolled Steel Plate, Thin Steel Shear Walls.
