In this paper, a new roofing system is introduced, which is constructued using the precast composite sandwich panels. This roofing sandwich panels system consists of three kinds of precast concrete sandwich panels including capital panels, beam or between columns panels, and slab or middle panels. The panels are composed of three layers; A high strength reinforced concrete top layer. A thick la...

Abstract Many nations are already working toward full implementation of energy efficiency in buildings known as Green Building. In line with this perspective, paper aims to develop a thermally efficient precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSP) for structural applications. Therefore, an experimental investigation was carried out determine the thermal resistance proposed PCSP using Hotbox method a...

This paper reports the results of three thin wythe precast sandwich panels tested under axial load. Panel reinforcements and shear connectors in current state civil construction context are evaluated. The authors measured displacement at two distinct panel heights as well along width to provide load–displacement behavior cross-section level broaden experimental data on subject. test developed t...

The overall objective of this research project was to conduct an extensive study of the behavior and use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) materials for bridge construction. In particular, GFRP honeycomb sandwich panels were used as bridge panels and steel-supported bridge deck panels and CFRP and GFRP bars were used as internal reinforcement for precast concrete br...
