Caratterizzazione sperimentale di un sistema costruttivo a pannelli sandwich: pannelli solaio

SUMMARY This paper presents the second part of the experimental campaign carried out on the constructive system ”Concrewall”, consisting of sandwich panels by Schnell House. The tests are conducted at the Material and Structural Testing Laboratory of the “Università Politecnica delle Marche”. In particular, Single Composite Panels (PCSP) used as roof panels are tested. Flexural tests are carried out on the panels in order to study the behaviour under vertical loads. Additionally, to investigate the behaviour of the connection between roof and wall panels cyclic tests are performed on two typical connection systems. Finally, a load test of a square roof of a real-scale 3-D mock-up is carried out to evaluate the behaviour of a real roof taking into account both the effects of the roof-wall connection and the roof bi-dimensional behaviour. The main results of the experimental campaign and some numerical analyses are illustrated in the paper.
