Carbon Fiber Connectors for Concrete Sandwich Panels

For all specimens, the carbon fiber strands either ruptured under tension loads or buckled under compression loads with no evidence of concrete deterioration or bond failure. The nonlinear analytical model reflected the observed performance of the test specimens, indicating a reliable prediction for...

Summary:For all specimens, the carbon fiber strands either ruptured under tension loads or buckled under compression loads with no evidence of concrete deterioration or bond failure. The nonlinear analytical model reflected the observed performance of the test specimens, indicating a reliable prediction for specimens where rotation is permitted at the top.
