This paper describes the structure performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear connectors for insulated concrete sandwich panels (CSP). In this study, experiments are conducted to investigate the physical features of insulated CSP with GFRP shear connectors with varying shape and specification of GFRP shear connectors, and types of insulations. Test results indicate that developed GFRP shear connector has a significant effect on structure performance of insulated CSP.

This paper describes an experimental program to investigate the shear behavior of insulated concrete sandwich panels (CSPs) with different types of GFRP shear connector. The study included testing of 13 insulated CSP specimens with two types of surface conditions for extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation and various shapes of shear connectors. All specimens were loaded in direct shear by means of push-out and were consist of three concrete panels, two insulation layer and four rows of GFRP shear connectors. Load-relative slip between concrete panel and insulation response of CSP specimens has been established through push-out shear test. Test results indicate that the surface condition of insulation has a significant effect on the bond strength between concrete panel and insulation. The specimen used XPS foam with 10mm deep slot shows higher bond strength than those used XPS foam with meshed surface. Corrugated GFRP shear connectors show equivalent strength to grid GFRP shear connectors. Cross-sectional area and embedded length of shear connector have a notable effect on overall response and inplane shear strength of the CSP specimens.

본 논문은 철근 또는 GFRP 보강근과 콘크리트 사이의 해석적 부착모델에 관한 적합성에 대해 기술하였다. 부착시편은 CSA 규준에 따라 제작하여 실험하였으며, 실험에 사용된 보강근의 종류는 철근과 상용화된 GFRP 보강근 2종(ASLAN, ISOROD)이다. 실험결과를 이용하여 새로운 부착모델을 제안하였으며, 기존 연구자들이 제안한 해석적 부착모델과 새롭게 제안된 부착모델의 적합성을 최소자승법을 통해 검토하였다. 검토결과 새롭게 제안된 해석적 부착모델은 기존 부착모델에 비해 높은 적합성을 나타내었다.
