Start date 1 July 2000

End date 30 June 2003

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 342 000,00

EU contribution € 805 200,00

Objective

The broad objective is to develop novel jointing systems (clinching, lincar mechanical jointing, combination of mechanical fasteners and gluing) including quality control for automated production of light gauge steel elements (like wall, floor, roof and truss elements) in order to improve the competitiveness of light gauge steel structures. The work includes mild steel and stainless steel. Additional sub-objectives of the project are: to determine performance criteria and detailed guidance for the choice of various jointing technologies and formulate design rules for the composite action between mechanically fasteners and glued boards.
