Comparison Study on Thermal Performance of the RC Sandwich Panels with Different Connectors

Abstract:

To explore the thermal performance of RC Sandwich Panel with different connectors, three experiments were carried out to develop a study. In the experiments, three RC Sandwich Panels were manufactured using three kinds of connectors, the thermal performance of them was separately tested by corresponding device, and the thermal calculation of every panel was done according to the current thermal code. It is found that thermal performance of the three RC Sandwich Panels will be changed with connector’s variation. The results show that the thermal performance of RC Sandwich Panel using nonmetal connector is better than using metal connector, and the thermal performance of the RC Sandwich Panel using little section connector is better than using bigger section.
