Experimental Investigations of Full-Scale MetRock Structural Concrete Insulated Panels(SCIPs) Idaho State University (2019)The Structural Concrete Insulated Panel or SCIP is an alternative construction to tradational wood framing. This research includes afull-scale investigate of the in–planeand out-of-plane flexural propertiesof MetRock SCIPs. MR panels are a variationof SCIPs that are commercially availablein the US.For this experiment 12 full-scale MR panels were tested as floor slabs and structural walls.The out-of-plane testingof MRslabs showed that the short span (10 feet) panels are agoodalternative for floors in residential housing. The short span panel behaved as a semi-composite section andachieved 66% capacity of a fully-composite panel. They exhibitedan out-of-plane elastic stiffness of 58.6 kip/in and anaverage yieldmoment capacity was 8.1 kip-ft. On the other hand, the 14 and 18 feetspans, did not meetthestandards for a floor but could still be used as roof slabs. Theresults from the in-plane cyclic testing ofcantileverwallsshowed that the panels had an average in-plane stiffness of 14.8 kip/in and had ayield moment capacity of 63.3 kip-ft. at a drift ratio of 0.082%. Similarly the ultimate moment capacity was 146.8 kip-ft. at 0.9%drift.Key Words:Structural Concrete Insulated Panels; MetRockSCIPs; Out-of-plane testing, In-plane cyclic test; Fully composite; Partially composite; Yield moment capacity; Ultimate moment capacity; Drift ratio.
