Funded Activity Summary

Time-dependent behaviour of precast concrete sandwich panels. This project seeks to improve understanding of the long-term structural behaviour of precast concrete sandwich panels and thus facilitate their use in civil engineering applications. These panels offer many advantages over traditional concrete panels mainly due to their excellent thermal insulation and their use in civil and industrial engineering applications is expanding. Nevertheless, the literature reveals a lack of confidence in their design due to the absence of reliable numerical models and test data of their long-term structural behaviour. This project aims to provide insight into the nonlinear long-term behaviour of such panels by developing new theoretical models that will be validated by laboratory testing.
