“…In the case of dwellings, the principal forces to be transferred are vertical loads from the roof. The connection methods to be employed in these joints can be grouting, bolting, welding or a combination of these techniques [19,20]. The authors suggest the use of bearing pads combined to grouting dowels projected from the wall panel and from the roof/slab members.…”

a b s t r a c tIn this paper, an innovative and thermally efficient sandwich panel is proposed for the structural walls of a pre-fabricated modular housing system. Traditionally, sandwich concrete panels consist of reinforced concrete wythes as outer layers, polystyrene foam as core material and steel connectors. However, steel connectors are known to cause thermal bridges on the building envelope, with possible consequent occurrence of condensation and mould problems. Furthermore, the reduction/optimization of the thickness of conventionally reinforced concrete layers is frequently limited by minimum concrete cover requirements for the protection of the reinforcement from corrosion. To overcome these issues, the proposed sandwich panel comprises Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) connectors and two thin layers of Steel Fibre Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (SFRSCC). This paper presents the material and structural concept of the proposed building system. Moreover, the feasibility of using the proposed connectors and SFRSCC on the outer wythes is experimentally investigated through a series of pull-out tests where failure modes and load capacity of the connections are analysed.

“…In the design, we should consider these effects in the calculation model. Bulletin 43 [7] proposed a simplified approach for such an analysis. The basic provisions of a simplified model for calculating modified systems with alternative load paths based on the application of the energy approach were developed in [16]- [19].…”

“…We can define resistance as static (quasi-static) or dynamic. According to the energy approach [16]- [19], the static resistance varies depending on the value of displacement and can be expressed by the resistance function R stat (a qz ) associated with the "N-w" relationship for ductile ties in the joints of precast elements [7].…”

“…It should be noted that in scientific and technical literature definitions of the term "robustness" are widely presented [1]- [6]. For example, fib Bulletin 43 [7] guidelines define structural robustness as the insensitivity of a structural system to local failure. In this context, insensitivity is understood as the state of a modified structural system, when damage to individual elements (the so-called key elements with respect to the system as a whole) causes only insignificant changes in its structural behaviour (its response).…”

The article presents the simplified implementation of alternative load path method based on the energy balance approach. This method should be used to check the global resistance of a damaged structural system after the occurrence of an accidental event. Basic assumptions of simplified analytical models for modelling resistance of horizontal ties in a damaged structural system, taking into account the membrane (chain) effects, were presented. An approach to modelling the dynamic resistance of a damaged structural system based on the energy balance method is described. Calculated dependencies for checking the robustness of a prefabricated multi-storey building with hollow-core slabs after the loss of the central column are proposed and considered using an example. On the considered example, a comparison of the required tie sections area with the dynamic resistance designed using the energy balance method (EBM) and according to the current standards, and a statistical assessment of the reliability of the load-bearing capacity models are carried out. In the end, a brief algorithm for the simplified calculation of the dynamic resistance of a damaged structural system is proposed.

Precast prestressed hollow core (HC) floors are widely used in various applications within the construction sector. Such floors are usually designed as single, simply supported elements, although it is known that individual elements forming the floor interact with each other. This article presents the state of the art regarding load redistribution in HC floors in the light of experimental data, current analytical models and code provisions. While this phenomenon is widely known and recognized, only sparse, and often poorly documented experimental data are available, which represent the basis for the assessment and calibration of analytical models. Moreover, even though the available models and code provisions share similar assumptions, their outcomes are in some cases conflicting. Having recognized the existing knowledge gap, the authors outline future perspectives for the development of consistent analytical and numerical approaches supplemented by new experimental data.
