Drafting design rules for adhesive joints in thin-gauge steel sheeting
conference paper
This paper deals with adhesive bonded joints in thin-gauge steel sheeting used for building applications. It is noticed that available design codes do not give any guidelines for this type orf joints. For this reason TNO and Delft University of Technology have started the project 'Adhesive joints in thin-gauge steel sheetings', to draw up design rules for building applications
In this paper a proposal is given for the process of drafting design rules for adhesive bonded joints. This proposal is based on the current adhesive bonding technology and the so called structural reliability methodology, which takes the stochastic nature of materials and geometry into account. For practical applications a design rule based on the partial safety factor approach is most convenient. One of the main aspects of drafting design rules is the calibration of the partial safety factors and correction factors. To illustrate this process, an example of calibrating the partial safety factor for a specific overlap joint is discussed
