Design Of High Thermal-Efficient Insulated Sandwich Wall Panels Using New-Shaped Steel Connectors
Abstract
Insulated sandwich wall panels (ISWPs) have been increasingly applied to building construction since they expect to enhance the thermal performance of a building in being used as building envelops. To confirm the structural capacities of ISWPs while avoiding the thermal losses, this study tries to develop high thermal-efficient ISWPs with a new-shaped steel connector that is used for integrating outer panels, main element of the ISWP. This paper describes the structural design process of ISWPs with the steel connectors for their practical applications as thermal-efficient cladding systems.
