Numerical Assessment of Structural Behaviours of High-Performance Building Envelope Panels

The Nexii building system consists of a structural lightweight pre-cast sandwich panel system that attaches to an existing or new base building structure. In an effort to make the panels lighter and improve the building envelope performance, the new generation of Nexii panels use FRP instead of steel framing among several other modification to the panel assembly. This study aims at assessing structural performance of the panel under the gravity and wind loading through a comprehensive parametric study using numerical method and Finite Element (FE) simulations.
