Multifunctional Structural Panels for Next-generation Infrastructure

该项目旨在开发一种多功能预制结构板，用于陆地和近海环境中当前和未来的基础设施应用。预制能够增强产品控制，以及快速建造整个结构或其组件的能力。这些面板使用了内部轻质泡沫和纤维增强聚合物(FRP)复合核心，以及由FRP片材和高强度混凝土制成的坚固的外层面板。预期的结果包括对该系统进行实验和数字验证，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已建基础设施性能方面呈现出向上的变化。

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.
