Description
This database presents the experimental investigation of cold-formed steel unconfined double-shear bolted connections where the applied load was stopped at different stages of loading (25% or 65% of the ultimate failure load under monotonic loading) followed by unloading, and finally reloading until failure. A total of 78 bolted connections of cold-formed steel subjected to loading-unloading and reloading condition with sheet thicknesses ranging from 0.55 to 3.0 mm, bolted with 10, 12 or 16 mm bolts were investigated.
