Typical insulated precast concrete sandwich panel (PCSP) systems are composed of two wythes separated by a layer insulation. The structural behavior PCSP heavily depends on elements between known as connectors, which ensure they work whole. Double shear tests were carried out 58 specimens reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) connectors; failure modes, load displacement curves ...

Precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSPs) are utilized for the external cladding of structures (i.e., residential, and commercial) due to their high thermal efficiency adequate composite action that resist applied loads. PCSPs composed an insulating layer with resistance is mechanically connected concrete. In recent decades, have been a viable alternative fast deployment low fabrication maintena...

Precast load-bearing shear wall panels are used extensively for high-rise construction because of the ease and speed of assembly, and the high quality of the precast panels. The connections between panels are extremely important since they affect both the speed of erection and the overall integrity of the structure. This paper presents the results of a research program conducted to investigate ...

The structural integrity of precast concrete buildings depends mainly on the connections between the precast structural components. Large precast concrete panels are used extensively in North America for low, medium, and highrise construction due to their ease and speed of assembly, and high quality control. This paper presents the results of twenty-two prototype specimens tested to investigate...

sandwich panel with central core honeycomb aluminum as one of the main shielding structures because of their high strength-to-weight ratio and improved energy absorption capacity, has been attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners in recent years. this paper initiates and presents a new type of central core honeycomb formed by hydroforming process. the study is augmented by ...

This paper presents several advancements in the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) materials for the precast concrete industry. Precast concrete members are commonly selected for reasons such as the high level of quality control used in their production, the durability of the finished structure, reduced labor costs and shorter construction schedules, and the economics of scale achieved with ...
