Abstract: Throughout this paper, a new system for connecting composite sandwich wall panels is proposed. The relevant structural components are investigated with the aim of utilizing these panels as insulated wall elements in building ...

Abstract: In steel fiber-reinforced composites materials, fiber and matrix are bonded together through a weak interface. The study of this interfacial behavior is important for understanding the mechanical behavior of such composites. ...

Abstract: Near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate strips are used to increase the load-carrying capacity of concrete structures. This is done by inserting the CFRP strips into slits made in the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical modeling strategy based on the finite-element method (FEM) for the analysis of a temporary residential floor prototype composed of three jointed composite floor sandwich panels made of glass ...
