Axial Load Behaviour of Double Skin Composite Walls Subjected to Elevated Temperatures
Antonio Taormina
Abstract
Double skin composite walls (DSCWs) consist of two skins of profiled steel sheeting and in-fill of concrete. DSCWs are proposed to act as axial and lateral load resisting elements in buildings. This research concentrates on the structural performance of DSCWs made of high performance concretes (HPCs) subjected to elevated temperatures of 800
