Experimental characterization of the mechanical and functional performance of innovative ultra-low carbon sandwich panels and envelope systems for buildings
The use of low-carbon materials is key for decarbonizing the construction sector, but their innovation potential is still relatively unexplored. The EU research project InCSEB aimed at the development of five ultra-low carbon steel building envelope systems and sandwich panels for cladding and roofing applications. These façade systems and sandwich panels incorporate the innovative use of wood fiber, a renewable and bio-sourced insulation material, while achieving a high level of mechanical and functional performances and ensuring compliance with other requirements such as sustainability criteria. This paper provides an overview of the results of the experimental study that has been carried out to assess and validate the functional and mechanical performances of the proposed innovative insulation sandwich panels and façade systems, aiming to achieve a technology readiness level of TRL 7 by the end of the project. The experimental study shows very promising results, fulfilling market expectations regarding mechanical, seismic, thermal, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
