Panels Connect with Screws – Perpendicular Intersection
Intersecting panels are butted together and connected with partially-threaded screws.
Panels Connect with Screws – Perpendicular Intersection
Intersecting panels are butted together and connected with partially-threaded screws.
Purpose: Transfer of in-plane and out-of-plane loads between panels. Often used as an erection aid only where connection is not otherwise structurally required.
Design Notes
- Capacity of connection is based on capacity of screws.
- It is possible to design this connection to enforce kinematic compatibility and thus composite behavior between the two panels.
