Using Thermo-Steel Panels as Wall Bearing Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermo-steel panels compose from steel thin-walled profiles and polystyrene. They are used as wall construction elements. We must follow stability problems. Finite strip method (FSM) has been used. Special arrangement had to be done for investigation of stability of thermo-steel panels. In thermo-steel panels compression stresses are carried in thin-walled steel profiles only. It means that polystyrene enter into stiffness matrix but it does not have increment in geometric matrix. Numerical examples were oriented for investigation of thermo-steel panels with 145 and 250 mm thickness. Obtained results proved ability of thermo-steel panel to be used as wall panel for two storey building.
