| Summary: | The progressive research upon the issue on renewal technology that can improve the
construction industry has initiated the study of Precast Lightweight Foam Concrete Sandwich Panel
(PLFP) as an alternative to Industrialize Building System (IBS). This paper reports the analysis of
structural behavior of PLFP with double shear connectors under axial load. The PLFP panel consists
of two wythes which enclosed a layer of polystyrene layer. Six (6 mm) rebar was used as the vertical
and horizontal reinforcement and 9 mm steel bar bent at 45' was used as the connector. Full scaled
panel was tested under axial load till failure. It was found that PLFP panel with double shear truss
connector has higher ultimate strength capacity compared to PLFP with single shear connectors ehen
tested under axial load. |
