The paper introduces experimental tests in order to examine the stability behaviour of members supported by sandwich panels at elevated temperature. The test specimens were 3.0 m x 3.0 m sized diaphragms, constructed of three HEA120 beams with sandwich panels installed on the outer face. After reaching desired temperature level, the middle beam was...

... member's midspan. Another ten more temperature controllers were used to control the temperature of the ceramic heating pads, which were attached to the steel surface by self-drilling screws, pressing the end of thermocouples to the steel surface tightly. Displacement was measured in 4 positions with the help of displacement transducers (see Fig. 3): axial displacement at the support (P2), in plane displacement of the middle member's upper flange at midspan (P1H), and out-of-plane displacement of the middle member's upper flange at midspan in two points (P1V1 and P1V2). In this chapter the observed behaviour of sandwich panels, structural members and screws are presented and ...
