This paper summarizes the findings of an experimental study on cold-formed steel (CFS) wall panels with oriented strand board (OSB) sheathing. Static lateral load tests were conducted on a total of thirteen full-scale wall panel specimens to investigate the performance of CFS walls utilizing primarily the construction details used in Turkey. Experimental results revealed that the geometry of hold-down attachment used at the base of CFS wall panels to transfer tensile forces has a major effect on the overall behavior of the panels. Extensive damage was observed to occur in the hold-down attachment and in part of the bottom track adjacent to the hold-down, which prevented the wall panels to exhibit the stiffness associated with the main load resisting mechanisms. Tilting of the screws connecting the OSB sheathing to the CFS boundary framing members, as well as the separation of sheathing from the framing members were other commonly observed deformation modes. Existence of diagonal struts inside CFS frame was determined to cause a slight increase in load capacity and initial stiffness of the panels. It is also shown that the measured load capacity of wall panels can be predicted with an acceptable accuracy using design equations available in the literature.

Behavior of steel-concrete partially composite beams with channel type shear connectors Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (2014-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of an experimental study investigating the flexural behavior of partially composite beams incorporating channel type shear connectors. Results from monotonic load testing of four full-scale steel-concrete composite beams and a steel beam are presented. The main effort focused on identifying the variation of strength and stiffness properties of beams with various degrees of partial composite action. Behavior of channel shear connectors in the composite beam specimens is rel...
Investigation of CFS shear walls with two-sided sheathing and dense fastener layout Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem; Isik, Yagmur Topcuoglugil (2022-11-01) Even though CFS framed shear walls have been the subject of many research, test data on walls sheathed with OSB panels on both sides using relatively small fastener spacing is scarce. The current investigation aims to fill this gap through an integrated experimental and numerical study on lateral load response of double side sheathed CFS-framed wall panels utilizing relatively small fastener spacing. The experimental investigation included cyclic tests on nine 1220x2440 mm wall panels. For the tested walls ...
Effects of cast-in-place concrete topping on flexural response of precast concrete hollow-core slabs Baran, Eray (2015-09-01) Results of a study focusing on the flexural response of precast prestressed concrete hollow-core slabs with cast-in-place concrete topping are presented. The experimental part of the study included load testing of five precast concrete hollow-core units. The numerically determined flexural response of test specimens was later compared with the experimentally obtained behavior. Results demonstrate that a major composite action is valid between the hollow-core unit and the topping slab under load levels corre...
Characterization of gas-solid flow in conical spouted beds operating with heavy particles Sari, Salih; Külah, Görkem; KÖKSAL, MURAT (2012-07-01) This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of the hydrodynamics of conical spouted beds operating with high density particles. This type of spouted beds is frequently encountered in chemical vapor deposition coating of nuclear fuel elements. Measurements were performed in three 15 cm ID full circular (gamma = 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees) and one half circular conical spouted (gamma = 30 degrees) bed with yttria-stabilized zirconia particles (d(p) = 0.5, 1 mm; rho(p) = 6050 kg/m(...
Strength and stiffness of floor trusses fabricated from cold-formed steel lipped channels Dizdar, Cagan; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-15) This paper reports findings of an experimental study on floor trusses fabricated from cold-formed steel lipped channel sections. In design, the members of these trusses are generally considered as pin-ended and their capacities are assessed under pure compressive and tensile loads by making use of commonly accepted design specifications. Seventeen full-scale floor trusses were experimentally investigated through four point bending tests. Thickness of lipped channels, number of connection fasteners, and type...
