Diaphragm action of sandwich panels with regard to the bearing capacity of the longitudinal joints
Abstract eng: The goal of this research project is to reduce additional structural elements by making use of the stabilising effects provided by sandwich panels. To this end, the diaphragm action has been experimentally tested on a shear frame rig. The initial results indicate that the connection between panels and beams is the limiting factor. Taking this into account, the existing calculation models focus on the failure of these connections. However, the bearing capacity due to friction in the longitudinal joints between panels is neglected. Therefore, the longitudinal joints have been investigated separately on a smaller scale, in this study. In order to take this positive effect into account, the friction within the sandwich panel joints needs to be defined dependent on joint geometry. In this paper, the results of the above described investigations and the experimental set-ups, including the newly built shear frame rig and the small scale tests are presented.
