Prefabricated (or prefab) construction has become popular in recent years worldwide, owing
to its advantages, including speed of construction, less wastage of materials, reduced labour …

Precast concrete sandwich panel (PCSP), consisting of two concrete wythes and a thermal
insulation layer in between, can improve greatly the energy efficiency in buildings. This …

Precast sandwich wall panel structures (PSWPS) are widely used globally. However, the
seismic behavior of PSWPSs has not been fully understood due to the lack of experimental …

This study investigated the in-plane shear responses of four types of connectors (single-
strand truss, double-strand truss, grid-type, and I-shaped) in precast concrete sandwich …

Precast concrete sandwich panel (PCSPs), consisting of two reinforced concrete (RC)
wythes (ie, interior and exterior), a core insulation layer and connectors, can help to improve …

The use of prefabricated elements is widely adopted in the construction sector to reduce the
necessary on-site construction works and time, to maximise efficiency in material use and to …

This paper investigated a novel precast concrete sandwich panel (PCSP) which made by
the geopolymer concrete and enabled by the glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) …

The horizontal connections play a critical role in resisting gravity and lateral loads in precast
concrete sandwich panel shear wall structures and it's important to fully understand their …

Abstract Development and use of preconstruction have been exhibited for several decades.
Numerous modules, ranging from the simplest to the most advanced concepts, have been …

Seismic occurrences have caused severe damage and even the collapse of fragile
unreinforced masonry structures. New technologies are replacing these conventional …
