Sandwich Panel Performance in Full‐scale and Bench‐scale Fire Tests

Fire and Materials, 1997
Fire hazard assessments must be primarily driven by life safety variables. Concern is often highly focused on toxicity issues, since fire deaths, in the majority of cases, are found (in whole or in part) to be due to toxic gas inhalation. Procedures have recently been published by ISO, wherein the toxicity assessment of fire products is focused ...

Flexural Behavior of Full-Scale Composite Structural Insulated Floor Panels

Advanced Composite Materials, 2011
Panelized systems are prefabricated components that are brought to a construction site and assembled into the finished structure. Traditional constructions are often subjected to termite attack, mold buildups and have poor penetration resistance against wind-borne debris.

Full Scale Testing of Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels

ACI Structural Journal, 1997
This paper describes newly developed precast concrete sandwich panels. The panels use a new system of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) connectors, developed at the University of Nebraska's Center for Infrastructure Research, for transferring shear forces from one concrete wythe to the other The use of FRP as the connector material increases the thermal ...

Full-Scale Testing of Prefabricated Full-Depth Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Panel System

ACI Structural Journal, 2007
The implementation of a prefabricated full-depth precast concrete deck system is an innovative technique that accelerates the rehabilitation process of a bridge deck extending its service life for the purpose of reducing user delays, and community disruptions and lowering its life-cycle costs.

Structural behavior and modeling of full-scale composite structural insulated wall panels

Engineering Structures, 2012
Abstract This paper investigates the structural behavior of a new type of Composite Structural Insulated Panels (CSIPs) for load-bearing wall applications. The proposed composite panel is made of low cost orthotropic thermoplastic glass/polypropylene (glass-PP) laminate as a facesheet and Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) as a core.

Full-scale testing of masonry-infilled RC frames retrofitted with cross-laminated timber panels

Engineering Structures, 2023
This paper presents the results from an experimental study on an innovative timber-based seismic retrofit solution for existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The interventions aims at enhancing the overall seismic resistance of RC framed structured with a light , cost-effective, sustainable, and reversible approach allowing possible integration ...

Stabilisation of continuous Z-purlins by sandwich panels: Full scale experimental approach

Thin-Walled Structures, 2014
Abstract The sandwich panel roof supported by continuously connected thin-walled cold-formed Z-purlins with overlapping over intermediate supports is a practical case of very frequent use. Among the two possible directions of investigation mentioned in the code when studying torsional/distortional instability of Z-purlins (i.e.

Concrete Flow in Diaphragm Wall Panels: A Full-Scale In-Situ Test

2015
Flow processes, taking place during the concreting of diaphragm wall panels (D-wall panels), are of great importance for the quality of the wall. During this phase, the bentonite, present in the excavated trench, should be completely replaced by concrete in a controlled way.

Live-Load and Shear Connection Testing of Full-Scale Precast Bridge Panels

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2013
This paper describes an investigation to quantify the behavior of a precast deck system. As part of this investigation, a live-load test was performed on a steel I-girder bridge made with accelerated bridge construction precast deck panels. It was found that the bridge was behaving compositely in some locations and noncompositely in others.
