Abstract
Local pull through failures at the screw connections of steel cladding systems are a common occurrence during high wind events. Therefore local pull through failures have been investigated with an objective to develope adequate design rules. Since the local pull through failures in the less ductile high tensile steel claddings are initiated by transverse splitting at the fastener hole, analytical studies have not been able to determine the pull through failure load. Therefore an appropriate splitting criterion was first developed using laboratory experiments of crest fixed steel cladding. This paper presents the details of the experimental studies and the results.
