EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF CROSS CORRUGATED COLD FORM SHEET BASED PRE-FABRICATED PANEL

The public and construction industry professionals are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental damage buildings can cause. As a result the use of more sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials and techniques is increasing. CFS panels (Cold form sheet based composite panels) are an innovative way of using Decking sheets in a prefabricated wall & slab system. As CFS panels are prefabricated at factory and erected at site. The panels consist of a Decking panel, Bottom liner panel, Foam & Foam concrete. To date decking panels are used as permanent formwork for mezzanine flooring. However, they are now being developed for low rise domestic load-bearing applications.
