Development and Evaluation of Composite Insulated Beams

Bok av Ali Jahromi
This research describes the fabrication and investigation of new engineered wood products called Composite Insulated Beams (CIB). The CIBs were tested to determine their structural performance, long term durability, thermal and dynamic behaviours. CIBs combine the efficiency of sandwich panels with existing engineered wood products to produce new, competitive and cost effective EWP with improved structural value and durability.
