Abstract

This article introduces the experimental and analytical research results of two precast insulation mortar concrete sandwich panels (PIMSP) and two precast concrete composite panels as one-way slabs under bending load. Obtaining a prefabricated floor slab that can balance thermal insulation and structural performance can reduce material consumption and increase inter-story usage height. As the sandwich material for PIMSP, insulation mortar with a strength of 6 MPa was used. Truss-shaped shear connectors were used for shear force transfer. Then, finite element analysis was used to analyze and study the unidirectional flat plate model. The results showed that the tested PIMSP achieved a complete composite effect in the elastic stage and a semi-composite effect in the plastic stage. The PIMSP crack pattern resembles that of a precast concrete slab when utilized as a one-way slab. The load transfer capacity of truss-shaped shear connectors is relatively small, and it is mainly used as a connection between floors. Experiments have demonstrated that PIMSP panels can serve as a structural substitute for regular concrete floors in residential buildings.
