Innovative Multifunctional Structural Panels for Cost-effective Panelized Construction0533306Abstract: It is vital to the U.S. economy that cost-effective structural systems and materials be explored to extend service life and to improve performance of housing and infrastructure facilities. The project will pioneer a new technology for the development of pre-engineered and prefabricated multifunctional building components (or sub elements) that possess improved structural performance, intuitive installation that does not require skilled labor and that can be demonstrated to lower the cost of housing; and combine structural performance with thermal, fire-protection and sound insulating qualities.This project particularly focuses on multifunctional panelized construction where greater affordability can be achieved through increased factory-based prefabrication of subcomponent assemblies where greater structural performance can be designed into the component. The essence of the proposed research is, for the first time ever, to adapt a new cost-effective preforming process and thermoplastic technology to develop innovative hybrid FRP-lightweight concrete wall panels and glass fiber reinforced intelligent thermoplastic sheet panels for low cost housing structures. The research also aims at broadening its impact by including undergraduates in the research team and taking research findings to various modules of the appropriate coursework. Other impacts of the research includes transfer of advanced technology from the material science and engineering to the civil engineering arena, encouraging the spirit of interdisciplinary research in developing effective solutions in the more established civil engineering field, and engaging the composites industry in the construction market.

摘要：探索具有成本效益的结构系统和材料，以延长房屋和基础设施的使用寿命，提高其性能，对美国经济至关重要。该项目将开创一种新技术，用于开发预先设计和预制的多功能建筑组件（或子组件），这些组件具有改进的结构性能，直观的安装，不需要熟练的劳动力，并且可以证明可以降低住房成本；并将结构性能与隔热、防火、隔音性能相结合。该项目特别关注多功能面板结构，通过增加基于工厂的子组件组件预制，可以实现更高的可负担性，从而可以设计出更高的结构性能。这项研究的实质是，有史以来第一次采用一种新的具有成本效益的预成型工艺和热塑性塑料技术来开发创新的frp -轻质混凝土墙板和玻璃纤维增强智能热塑性塑料板，用于低成本的房屋结构。这项研究还旨在扩大其影响，包括将本科生纳入研究小组，并将研究成果纳入适当课程的各个模块。该研究的其他影响包括将材料科学和工程领域的先进技术转移到土木工程领域，鼓励跨学科研究精神，在更成熟的土木工程领域开发有效的解决方案，并使复合材料行业参与建筑市场。
