Book Summary Information

Summary of Lightweight Sandwich Construction

The designer, specifier and manufacturer of sandwich panels all require a great deal of information on a wide range of subjects. This book was written by a group of European experts under the editorship of a UK specialist in lightweight construction. It provides guidance on:

* materials used in manufacture

* thermal efficiency and air- and water-tightness

* acoustic performance

* performance in fire

* durability

* special problems of sandwich panels in cold stores and chill rooms

* architectural and aesthetic considerations

* structural design at the ultimate and serviceability limit states

* additional structural considerations including fastenings, the effect of openings and the use of sandwich panels as load-bearing walls

* test procedures

The book concludes with some numerical design examples and is highly illustrated throughout.
