Tension pullout of sheet metal screws
Tension pullout of sheet metal screws
(OP)
I'm looking at a connection where I have a #14 screw fastening two pieces of sheet metal siding together. Both siding sections have stiffeners. They will be acting compositely spanning about 6'. My concern is leeward wind suction acting at the exterior siding. How would I calculate the pullout capacity of the connection? Obviously, the local yielding of the sheet metal around the screw is going to govern, not the screw itself. What area do I take for yielding around the screw? Or am I looking at this the wrong way?
Thanks
Thanks
