Behaviour of Partially Composite Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels under Flexural and Axial Loads
(2015-10-03)
Precast concrete sandwich panels are commonly used on building exteriors. They are typically composed of two concrete wythes that surround rigid insulation. They are advantageous as they provide both structural and thermal ...
Field investigation and simulation of nutrient control in a fish-hatchery wastewater stabilization pond system
(2015-06-09)
The aquaculture sector has been the fastest growing animal food producer since the 1970’s. With such a fast growth rate, ecological problems have arisen due to the lack of ability to control nutrient run off in coastal ...
Connections and Fatigue Behaviour of Precast Concrete Insulated Sandwich Panels
(2015-09-26)
This study investigates two aspects of precast concrete insulated sandwich wall panels, namely mechanical connections and fatigue behaviour. In the first part, flexural tests were performed on panels with various end support ...
Behavior of Sandwich Panels Subjected to Bending Fatigue, Axial Compression Loading and In-Plane Bending
(2015-01-26)
This thesis investigates experimentally and analytically the structural performance of sandwich panels composed of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) skins and a soft polyurethane foam core, with or without thin GFRP ...
Investigation of the Relationship Between Urban Form and the Energy Use of Water Distribution Systems
