“…• Detailed analysis of load transfer mechanisms in typical light-framed structures indicates that all walls (both structural and non-structural) parallel to the applied lateral load contribute to the lateral capacity of the stmcture (Liew et al 2002(Liew et al , 2004Gad et al 1999aGad et al , 1999b. The specific strength and stiffness contribution of each wall vary significantly depending on wall length, bracing material and building system.…”

“…To understand the relative perfOIn1anCe and contribution of plasterboard to the overall house response, full-scale racking tests of isolated walls combined with shear connection tests are concluded to be an appropriate methodology. Based on the knowledge gained from a detailed literature review (Liew et al 2002;Liew 2004), infOlmation gleaned from the field works conducted in plasterboard manufacturing plants and correlation of data on the existing quality control test methods with the density of plasterboard, a new test method, described here as fastener bearing test, to control the quality of plasterboard for bracing purpose has been proposed, developed and verified (Liew et al 2004). Figure 1 illustrates the apparatus for the proposed fastener bearing test.…”

The beneficial bracing characteristics of plasterboard have recently been incorporated into Australian design standards for residential structures. There is a need to develop control procedures, commensurate with these enhanced design guidelines. to control the quality of plasterboard such that its manufactured properties conform with the bracing characteristics assumed. This paper reports the findings of a study into the adequacy of existing plasterboard quality tests as a measure of its bracing capacity. The paper also reports the development of a new test method, described herein as fastener bearing test. as an alternate quality control method for bracing capacity of plasterboard. This fastener bearing test is subsequently validated through an extensive experimental program and analytical modelling. The paper concludes that the proposed test is a reliable method to assess the bracing capacity of plasterboard. It has also established the validity of a simple closed-form mathematical approach to ascertain the lateral capacity of clad framed walls.

“…The mechanism of pullout failure for edge screw connections has been investigated through experiments at both component (Fiorino et al 2007;Serrette et al 1997) and structural levels (Memari et al 2009;Serrette et al 1997). For the bearing mode, bearing and shear tests were conducted by Liew et al (2004) based on connections between timber framing and different types of plasterboard with screws or nails of different sizes. A linear correlation was revealed between the bearing capacity and the shear capacity of fastener connection.…”

Capacity of Screw Connections between Plasterboard Panels and Cold-Formed Steel for Modular Buildings

Plasterboard panels attached to cold-formed steel trough screw connections are commonly used in prefabricated and modular building construction. Building modules are built in a factory as panelized or volumetric units and then delivered to site for assembly. Those modules experience different loading scenarios during lifting and transportation that may cause damages to nonstructural elements such as plasterboard panels and their connections. Therefore, the connection capacity of plasterboard to steel becomes an important design consideration for modular buildings. This paper presents an experimental and analytical study of the load capacity of such screw connections. Bearing tests were first conducted to examine the bearing behavior of plasterboard with screw shanks or metal strips as the bearing components. The connection performance with different screw sizes was then studied through single-lap shear tests. Finally, as validated by the experimental results, an analytical formulation was proposed based on the concept of equivalent diameter for the estimation of connection capacity.
