Abstract
- This paper presents a thorough experimental and numerical investigation into the structural behaviour of a novel cold-formed steel (CFS) telescopic stud system under axial compression. A total of 40 specimens were tested, considering variations in screw configurations, steel grades, and section thicknesses. The test results revealed that tilting and bearing led to failure in all screw connections. In comparison to the single-screw connection with a gap at the middle of the web, the telescopic studs with 2 screws in the web, 2 screws in the flanges, and 4 screws in both the web and flanges showed approximately 35–37% higher strengths. A nonlinear explicit dynamic finite element model was then developed and validated against the test results in terms of its connection strengths and failure modes. The experimental results were compared with the design strengths determined by the current design standards (AISI S100 (2016), AS/NZS 4600 (2018), Eurocode 3 (2006), BS5950–5 (1998) and GB50018 (2002).). The comparison results revealed that the AISI S100 (2016) and AS/NZS 4600 (2018) are conservative, underestimating the connection strengths of telescopic studs with different screw layouts by 1–13%. • The connection strengths of telescopic studs under compression were studied experimentally and numerically. • The results of a total of 40 new experiments were reported. • Finite element analysis was conducted and validated against the test results. • The prediction accuracy of current design standards was evaluated.
