Dataset for tilt-up solid and composite insulated wall panels under combined axial and lateral loading

Area of Science:

• Structural Engineering
• Materials Science
• Building Technology

Background:

• Traditional tilt-up panels have limited available data.
• A comprehensive dataset for insulated wall systems is lacking.
• Understanding panel connector performance is crucial for structural integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the flexural behavior of Concrete Insulated Wall Panels (CIPs) with various shear connectors.
• To assess the shear performance of wythe connectors through double shear tests.
• To provide a valuable dataset for structural engineers, code committees, and researchers.

Main Methods:

• Conducted large-scale tests on six traditional tilt-up panels and 17 CIPs.
• Performed 30 double shear tests on wythe connectors.
• Collected detailed specimen descriptions and test output data.

Main Results:

• The dataset provides crucial insights into the performance of CIPs under combined lateral and axial loadings.
• Evaluated the shear performance of different wythe connectors.
• Established a comprehensive dataset for insulated and traditional tilt-up wall systems.

Conclusions:

• The generated dataset fills a significant gap in the literature for insulated wall systems.
• The data is valuable for structural engineers, code development, and numerical modeling.
• This research enhances understanding of modern concrete wall system performance.
