Abstract

Fibre reinforced polymer composites are applied in monolithic sandwich elements that function as bearing structure in unitised façade systems. The research covers a complete system analysis of the concept, a material assessment regarding engineering FRP composites, and the accompanying quality assurance for both the materials and the production process.
