Insulated Wall Panels - Interface Shear Transfer

摘要

A typical insulated wall panel consists of insulation sandwiched between two concrete wythes of equal or unequal thickness that are connected by various types of shear connectors. These connectors pass  through the insulation that is sandwiched between the two concrete wythes. While such panels are highly · developed, the traditional methods for the design of interface shear force ignore the influence of  actual panel stresses under cracking loads.
