Abstract

To enable the use of sandwich panels with Textile Reinforced Cementitious composite faces for the renovation of existing dwellings, a proper understanding of the structural behaviour of such panels is indispensable. In this paper, the influence of the cementitious matrix on the global flexural behaviour of the sandwich beams was quantified experimentally. Four-point bending tests were performed to evaluate the stiffness and structural capacity of the sandwich beams. Results show that the flexural behaviour of the beams is strongly dependent on the behaviour of the TRC faces. A numerical model was developed and is able to give a close prediction of the experimental results.
