ABSTRACT: In this study, a total of 24 single shear screwed connection specimens fabricated from G550
0.42 mm, G500 1.20 mm and G450 1.90 mm thin sheet steels were conducted by transient state test method.
The tests were performed at three different load levels of 25%, 50% and 75% of the failure load at ambient
temperature.The critical temperature and the ...
