Influence of slenderness ratio on the structural performance of lightweight foam concrete composite panel

In this research paper is reported the analytical and experimental investigations on the influence of slenderness ratio on the structural performance of lightweight foam concrete composite panel (LFCCP). Six full-scale tests of LFCCP panels differing in thickness were implemented under compression l...
