This paper presents the structural behaviour of precast lightweight foam concrete sandwich panel (PFLP) under flexure, studied experimentally and theoretically. Four (4) full scale specimens with a double shear steel connector of 6 mm diameter and steel reinforcement of 9 mm diameter were cast and tested. The panel’s structural behavior was studied in the context of its ultimate flexure load, crack pattern, load-deflection profile, and efficiency of shear connectors. Results showed that the ultimate flexure load obtained from the experiment is influenced by the panel’s compressive strength and thickness. The crack pattern recorded in each panel showed the emergence of initial cracks at the midspan which later spread toward the left and right zones of the slab. The theoretical ultimate load for fully composite and noncomposite panels was obtained from the classical equations. All panel specimens were found to behave in a partially composite manner. Panels PLFP-3 and PLFP-4 with higher compressive strength and total thickness managed to obtain a higher degree of compositeness which is 30 and 32.6 percent, respectively.

Seismic Behaviors

In this paper, a total of five structural insulated panel shear walls (SIPSW), in which with plywood facing and polystyrene foam board core, were tested under low cyclic horizontal loading. For the test specimens, different wall depth-width ratio and the opening sizes have been considered. The failure modes, failure mechanics, bearing capacity, lateral stiffness and ductility are discussed in detail. The test results showed that the hysteretic curve of SIPSW shows a reversed S-shape. Also the depth-to-width ratio and the opening dimensions of the shear walls have significant effects on load bearing capacity, ductility and elastic stiffness. What’s more, the performance of the SIPSW specimens was controlled by the fastener slip behavior of the SIP-to-spline connection, especially along the bottom spline. Finally, it is indicated that SIPSW have a good satisfaction upon seismic performance when used to timber structures.

Storey Building

A multi-storey building is habitually modelled as a frame structure which neglects the shear wall/slab openings along with the inclusion of staircases. Furthermore, the structural strength provided by shear walls and slabs is not precisely incorporated. With increasing building height, the effect of lateral loads on a high-rise structure increases substantially. Inclusion of shear walls and slabs with the frame leads to improved lateral stiffness. Besides, their openings may play imperative role in the structural behaviour of such buildings. In this study, 61 multi-storey building configurations have been modelled. Corresponding analyses are performed to cope with the influence of shear walls, slabs, wall openings, masonry walls and staircases in addition to frame modelling. The finite element approach is used in modelling and analysis. Structural responses in each elemental combination are evaluated through equivalent static and free vibration analyses. The assessment reveals that inclusion of only slab components with frame modelling contributes trivial improvement on structural performance. Conversely, the presence of shear wall slabs with frame improves the performance noticeably. Increasing wall openings decreases the structural responses. Furthermore, it is not recommended to model staircases in addition to frame–slab–shear wall modelling, unless the effect of wall openings and slab openings is adequately considered.

Seismic Response Of Buildings

The roof framing in single-storey buildings with large foot prints, generally used for commercial, educational, or institutional purposes, often consists of a flexible steel deck or wood panel diaphragm. Resistance to seismic lateral loads is provided by steel bracings, masonry shear walls, concrete shear walls, wood panel shear walls, or cold formed wall systems. The response of such buildings to seismic loads is strongly affected by the flexibility of the roof diaphragm. Diaphragm flexibility alters the manner in which the inertia forces, shears, and bending moments are distributed along the length of the diaphragm. In addition, it causes a significant increase in the ductility demand on the lateral load resisting system that is expected to be strained into the inelastic range under the design earthquake. Results of a study on the linear and nonlinear seismic response of buildings with flexible diaphragms are presented.

Plate Structures

The structural behaviour of sandwich plate structures are characterized by transverse shear deformations in the core. The assumed stress hybrid finite element technique is particularly suitable for developing sandwich plate bending elements. In the present study, rectangular three-layer sandwich plate elements have been formulated using simple assumed stress functions. Numerical test problems have been solved to examine the convergence property and suitability of these elements. The results are compared with that of a complete quadratic stress mode element and with analytical solutions. Six degrees of freedom per node shell elements are formulated by combining the plate bending elements with membrane elements. A folded plate sandwich panel roof has been analyzed using these elements and the results are compared with the experimental values. The use of simple stress function gives satisfactory results and reduces the size of the matrices to be used, the length of the program, and the computation time for the formulation of element stiffness matrices. Key words: sandwich panel, structural analysis, finite element method, stress hybrid approach, folded plates.

Wood Frame

A numerical model based on the finite element method is presented for prediction of the cyclic response of wood frame structures. The model predicts the cyclic response of shear walls. Nonlinear phenomena are assumed to be concentrated in the connections that are modelled through elements linking the structural elements including the posts, beams, and sheathing panels. Identification of model parameters relies on tests on individual connections. Connection tests on different nail lengths were conducted under monotonic and cyclic lateral loads. Based on the results from past studies that indicate the pull-through failure is an important failure mode in common nail connections with lumber and oriented strand board (OSB), washers were considered as a means to reinforce the connection. The influence of reinforced nailing on the static and dynamic performance of full-size wood frame shear walls with large openings, sheathed with OSB panels, was evaluated experimentally. Combinations of parameters were studied, such as the number of hold-downs, the panel shapes, the nail distribution, and the bracing systems. Comparisons of the dissipated energy per cycle revealed a higher capacity for walls using nails with washer reinforcement than without. Results from numerical simulations of the monotonic and cyclic tests performed on the walls are presented.Key words: timber shear wall, connections, finite element, dissipated energy.
