Abstract：In order to solve the problem that the horizontal and vertical texture of oriented strand board (OSB) will affect the mechanical connection performance of cold-formed thin-walled C-type steel column, the static tensile tests for 10 OSB and cold-formed thin-wall C-type steel column were carried out, and the influence of horizontal and vertical texture of OSB on the failure mode, connection stiffness and ultimate load capacity was analyzed.The results show that the specimen with vertical texture exhibits the fiber fracture damage, and the load capacity is about 10% higher than that of the specimen with horizontal texture.In addition, the specimen with horizontal texture exhibits the wooden fiber shear failure, and the connection stiffness is about 8% higher than that of the specimen with vertical texture.The tests can provide the design reference for the cold-formed thin-wall steel-OSB structures.
