Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Flexible Connectors for Use in Insulated Concrete Wall Panels

¹Civil & Environmental Engineering Department, Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, ²Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

We propose a testing protocol that can be combined with widely available analytical methods to assess the mechanical properties of shear connectors for use in the design of insulated concrete wall panels to predict full-scale insulated panel behavior.
