Abstract

The study of screws under bending is a very important topic for the solution of anchors (connections) of the vertical members of a Curtain Wall or Storefront that connects top and bottom thru Head and Sill anchors. When there are shims that create a gap between the connected anchor and the structure that connects to, the screws connecting the anchor to the structure would be under bending; very few or any tests are available showing the capacity of a screw under bending; this thesis would present tests and theory of screws under bending, and discussion/clarification of the behavior of these screws under bending due to the use of shims.

Keywords
