Fatigue Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Cementitious Composites and Their Application in Sandwich Elements Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Sandwich panels with textile-reinforced cement (TRC) faces merge both structural and insulating performance into one lightweight construction element. To design with sandwich panels, predictive numerical models need to be thoroughly validated, in order to use them with high confidence and reliability. Numerical bending models established in literature have been validated by means of local displacement measurements, but are missing a full ...
Research on the loadbearing behaviour of textile reinforced cement sandwich panels is limited and neglects situations where the core or adherence is (partially) lost. This paper presents an exhaustive numerical and experimental study comprising centrical and eccentrical compression tests on real-scale TRC sandwich walls with and without core. In the latter case, the influence of pin-connectors and of the geometry of the loaded face were ...
