Composite structural insulated panels (CSIPs) are eco-friendly, high-performance materials, which not only good have mechanical properties, but also good waterproof, moisture-proof, fire-proof, and anti-corrosion characteristics, so they have been used to build envelope structures in recent years. However, how to improve stiffness of CSIPs remains unsolved. The poor stiffness is one of the biggest obstacles for the application of CSIPs in the load-bearing members of civil engineering. In this study, the layout of glass–polypropylene (PP) laminate layers is designed to enhance its stiffness, and this study applies CSIPs as load-bearing members of civil engineering for the first time. Thus, the bend model of CSIP thin-wall box-beams under uniform loading is built, based on Timochenko’s theory. The deflection curve equation is presented, considering shearing deformation. The expressions for the bending of normal strain flanges of the beam and the equation considering principal shearing strain at the beam’s web are obtained, respectively. Finally, mechanical properties of the thin-wall box-beam under uniformly distributed loads were performed by FE. FE results are entirely consistent with the theoretical results, thereby making the theoretical method applicable for the design of thin-wall box-beams, which are made of composite materials. Different from other beams, the shearing deformation is a critical factor that influences the deformation of thin-walled box-beams.
