The paper presents the results of shearing test of the joints made by using various joining systems, including the clinching technology. In the shearing test the maximum shearing force was obtained. In the experimental the S350GD steel sheets with thickness of 1 mm were used. This kind of steel is used to produce cold formed profiles which are used to assembly the structures of industrial and residential facilitates. During the selection of fasteners and joining methods the principal of similar joints geometry features was taken into account.
In addition an analysis of the temperature influence on the blind rivet lap joints strength was presented. The experimental shearing tests were done for four temperatures: 23, 400, 600 and 800°C.

Keywords: Joint strength; Shear test; Mechanical joining; Riveting; Clinching; Spot welding
