In this paper, an experimental investigation is presented for sandwich panels with various
core layer materials (polyisocyanurate foam, mineral wool, and expanded polystyrene) …

A few years ago, several failures in the sandwich panel cladding systems of large
warehouses or distribution centres (“Big Sheds”) in the UK highlighted shortcomings in the …

The paper describes the experimental and numerical investigation of the stabilization of cold
formed thin-walled Z-beams by sandwich panels. The scope of the laboratory tests included …

Compared to hot-rolled steel structures, cold-formed steel structures are susceptible to
extreme winds because of the light weight of the building and its components. Many modern …

A rotational resistant stiffness of the zed-purlins connection with sandwich panels is
investigated. A simple finite element method model of the connection is proposed. The …

Abstract A Direct Strength Method based methodology has been developed by the authors
for the prediction of local buckling and distortional buckling strength of purlins with paired …

The paper presents experimental studies of the use of blind rivets (one side connection/blind
connection) in sandwich panels with polyisocyanurate foam core. The laboratory pull-out …

This paper presents a study on the influence of sandwich panel roof cladding on the
horizontal stiffness of load-bearing steel structures (stressed skin action). A full-scale test …
