Abstract

A compositecorrugatedsandwich slabwith rectangular, trapezoidal and triangular stiffeners was proposed. Thisinnovative solution was developed using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material formed by three components: Top and Bottom GFRP face sheets, GFRP stiffeners. Different types of slabs using different geometric conditionswas studied and their behaviour was assessed. Theresults showed that the proposed composite corrugatedsandwich slabs has more effect on bending failure than buckling failure.
