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.
