<p> A detailed synopsis of the state-of-the-art in the
field of the Structural Analysis of sandwich beams is presented.
Deficiencies, inaccuracies, lack of clarity, and
the imposition. of unnecessary assumptions of behaviour
found -in the related bibliography are presented in a comparative
fashion. A method of analysis with obvious advantages
over the others studied in this thesis is derived, and its
use is suggested. The presentation of all methods of
analysis is made under the most general cases of dimensions
and loadings to make them as applicable as possible to the
common cases encountered in sandwich components for the
building industry. </p> <p> Experimental work carried out on several materials
with some potential to be used in sandwich members for
buildings and the tests carried out on some sandwich beams
and beam-columns are reported. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
