The use of sandwich structures in various engineering fields is growing rapidly because of advantageous features such as low weight and high strength-to-weight ratio.The existing theories are all based on soft core assumption.
Introduction Sandwich structures are widely used in marine, transport, civil construction and aerospace applications because of the significant feature such as its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Reissner theory, in spite of being simple in assumptions and equations, can satisfy the precision requirement of the general engineering construction[5].

The experiment of ultimate capacity for the reinforced concrete beam strengthened with CFRP Jian He1, a, Tong Wang1, b And Huan Wang1,c 1 College of Aerospace and Civil Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, 150001, China aheuhejian@163.com, btongluwtbl@yahoo.com.cn, cwh_8341@sina.com.cn Keywords: CFRP; Reinforced concrete beam ; Ultimate capacity ; Mechanical property experiment Abstract.
As to reinforced concrete structure, the method to deal with the shortage of bearing capacity is one of the puzzles of structure engineering, so its reinforcement technology is a research hotspot.
At present, although there are many reinforcing methods of existing structures, FRP is the more widely used in engineering because of its efficiency, low cost, and beauty.

Reinforced connection improved the seismic performance of the steel frame effectively, and the experimental results can provide reference for the engineering applications.
Fig. 1 Experiment specimen Half scaled specimen of steel frame with widen flange connection was manufactured and carried out a pseudo-dynamic experiment as shown in Fig.1, dynamic characteristics such as the base shear of the steel frame, displacement-time curve, acceleration-time curve, force-displacement hysteresis curve of the steel frame with widen flange connection under the dynamic load are studied, the results can provide theoretical and experimental reference for the engineering applications.
To study the dynamic characteristics of the steel frame with widen flange connection deeply, we made a half scale specimen of single span and two floor steel frame as shown in Fig.1 which span is 4.5m, storey height is 1.8m refer to storey height of the common civil building, column grid span, beam-column section size and loading of hydraulic-servo actuator according to [3, 4], and studied the effects of reinforced connection to the seismic performance of the overall frame by exerting dynamic load on specimens.
