![]() ![]() Some notable examples of sandwich structure applications in civil engineering can be found in the housing industry and footbridges. The low weight makes even large modular elements easy to handle, significantly improving the speed of transport and assembly. Sandwich structures are becoming increasingly popular in civil engineering applications, as their use allows for a reduction of dead weight, improvement of sustainability, and overall cost-efficiency. The model was validated by confronting computational results with experimental results for natural scale panels a good correlation between the two results proved that the proposed model could effectively support the CSIP design process. Material model parameters describing the nonlinear range were identified in a joint analysis of laboratory tests and their numerical simulations performed on CSIP beams of three different lengths subjected to three- and four-point bending. An original custom code procedure was developed, which allowed to include material bimodularity to significantly improve the accuracy of computational results and failure mode predictions. An advanced nonlinear FE model was created in the ABAQUS environment, able to simulate the CSIP’s flexural behavior in great detail. They remain a more economical option and are ideal for applications that require low water absorption and good sound and thermal insulation.The current report is devoted to the flexural analysis of a composite structural insulated panel (CSIP) with magnesium oxide board facings and expanded polystyrene (EPS) core, that was recently introduced to the building industry. This series is non-abrasive and can be machined with standard high-speed steel (HSS) cutting tools. The LAST-A-FOAM® is a flame-retardant polyurethane (PU) foam and has great resistance to water absorption, and will not swell, crack, or split on exposure to water. By using a structural foam, these panels feature higher compressive strength and crushing resistance than panels manufactured with a non-structural foam core. Manufactured with a with lightweight, high density structural foam, our foam core sandwich panels demonstrate the light weight, high strength and stiffness properties desired in a foam core panel and are lighter than balsa core panels. ![]() Using fiberglass prepreg for the outer layers creates structural skins that offer high strength, moderate tensile strength and compressive strength, dimensional stability, design flexibility and excellent electrical resistivity. By separating the fiberglass skin with an foam core, these sandwich panels offer greater strength properties than those of the skins alone. ![]() Our sandwich panels are cured with high temperature and under pressure resulting in fully consolidated fiberglass skins that are completely bonded to the foam core. They are manufactured by ‘sandwiching’ a 6 PCF polyurethane foam from LAST-A-FOAM between layers of self-adhesive fiberglass prepreg. ACP’s Fiberglass Fiber/Foam Sandwich Panels are ideal panels for a wide range of applications requiring flat, lightweight and rigid specifications. ![]()
