Overview

Examines how core thickness impacts the mechanical performance of textile reinforced concrete sandwich panels, suggesting significant design implications.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the influence of core thickness in textile reinforced concrete sandwich panels with expanded polystyrene beads.
  • Created TRC sandwich panel designs with concrete cores of 25 mm and 50 mm for EPS beads
  • Panels measured 50 mm and 75 mm in overall thickness, respectively
  • Utilized wet lay-up for monolithic casting of the panels
  • Conducted flexural and compressive testing to assess performance
  • Increasing core thickness improved flexural stiffness and strength
  • Enhanced compressive load capacity observed
  • Panels showed monolithic action with no debonding between skins and core
