This paper analyzes the shearing strength analysis of double joints made of various joining techniques. The capabilities of S350 GD sheet metal joining using the ClinchRivet technique were presented. The joint strength researches based on the uniaxial shearing test of the overlay joints for steel sheet of 1 mm thickness, which is used in the light gauge steel profiles in the wireframe structures of residential and commercial buildings.The results achieved for joints arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the load for specified joint spacing were discussed. The assessment of joint effectiveness were performed for both homogenous double joints and for various combinations of these joints.
► The strength of overlay joints made of S350GD sheet metal and using various assembly methods was experimentally shear tested. ► The effect of joint layout change in relation to the breaking load to the shear curve and the separation energy was analyzed. ► The new type of ClinchRivet joint was shear tested. ► The ClinchRivet joints feature the strength property anisotropy. ► The order of various joint alignment in the double overlay joint affects the joint behavior during the test.
