| Abstract | Abstract : To comply with the energy efficiency and build green initiatives contained in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and Energy Independence Security Act of 2007, the Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection (ATFP) requirements for building construction, and the build-it faster and more economical requirements of the Military Construction Transformation initiative, a research program has been conducted by AFRL and the Portland Cement Association (PCA) on the performance of insulated concrete wall panels. The purpose of the research is to determine if commercially available wall systems with excellent energy savings performance can provide ATFP for military and government facilities. This report presents the static performance of the wall systems subjected to pseudo-blast pressures. The results indicate that sandwich wall systems provide blast resistance over a large deformation range making these systems useful for ATFP applications. The responses of the panels were found to be sensitive to reinforcement type, shear ties used, and insulation. |
