Bending Performance of Precast Ceramsite-Concrete-Insulated Sandwich Panel with Stainless Steel Shear Connectors

With the continuous improvement of building energy-conservation requirements, both traditional concrete external insulation and internal insulation have been unable to meet energy-saving needs. In order to meet the demands of building energy-saving in the new era, new precast concrete external-wall-insulation technology should be developed. In this study, a bending static test and numerical simulation were carried out to evaluate the influence of the thickness of inner concrete wythe and insulation and the length of plate-type shear connectors on the cracking condition, bearing capacity and composite degree of a precast ceramsite-concrete-insulated sandwich panel (PCCISP) under the outside-plane load. The results show that the failure modes of four precast ceramsite-concrete-insulated sandwich panels were all ductile failure of the concrete flexural members. The ultimate bearing capacity of the PCCISP decreased with the decrease in the thickness of the inner concrete wythe. Reducing the thickness of insulation had no significant influence on the ultimate bearing capacity. When the thickness of insulation was reduced by 30%, the composite degree of rigidity and bearing capacity of the PCCISP were increased by 8.85% and 2.67%, respectively. Increasing the length of the plate-type shear connector slightly increased the ultimate bearing capacity, but it had no obvious influence on the rigidity and bearing capacity composite degree.
