| Summary: | The development of precast sandwich concrete has gained acceptance worldwide in conjunction
with the Industrial Building System (IBS). The advancement and improvement of using wall panel has
gone through a lot of achievements through the decade. The usage of precast lightweight sandwich
panel has become the alternative to conventional construction using brick wall. The usage of this panel
system contributes to a sustainable and environmental friendly construction. This paper presents an
overview of the latest development in precast concrete sandwich panel as an IBS. The purpose of this
report is to provide comprehensive information on latest research development of sandwich panel for
building construction purposes. The information on sandwich panel‟s composition, material, properties,
strength, availability, and its usage as structural element are reported. An innovative concept used in
the design of these systems and the use of lightweight materials is also discussed. |
