Multifunctional Structural Panels for Next-generation Infrastructure

该项目旨在开发一种多功能预制结构板，用于陆地和海上环境的当前和未来基础设施应用。预制件能够增强产品控制以及快速构建整个结构或其组件的能力。该面板采用内部轻质泡沫和纤维增强聚合物（FRP）复合材料芯，外部面板由FRP片材和高强度混凝土制成。预期的结果包括系统的实验和数值验证，这将使设计师和资产所有者有信心采用这种新的面板。面板系统在施工技术和建筑基础设施性能方面呈现出向上的台阶变化。

This project aims to develop a multifunctional prefabricated structural panel for current and future infrastructure applications for both land and offshore environments. Prefabrication enables enhanced product control as well as the ability to rapidly construct whole structures or their components. The panels utilise an inner lightweight foam and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite core with strong outer panels made from FRP sheets and high-strength concrete. The expected outcomes include experimental and numerical validation of the system, that will give designers and asset owners the confidence to adopt this new panel. The panel system presents an upward step change in construction technology and built infrastructure performance.
