Abstract
In order to promote the usage of structural insulated panels (SIP) as floor and roof for residential buildings, the bending capacity of SIP should be improved. In this paper, fiber reinforced polymer sheets were used as strengthening materials. The new variation of SIPs, which is called Fiber Reinforced Structural Insulated Panel (FSIP), was tested in this paper. Five one-way slabs were subjected to uniformly distributed loads till failure. It is observed that the flexural bearing capacity and stiffness of the slabs were affected by the thickness of foam core and the strength of FRP sheet. By strengthened with FRP sheets, the one-way slab of structural insulated panel can be used for floor and roof in residential and light commercial buildings.
