Abstract
The structural behaviour of modular wall systems made from pultruded glassfibre reinforced polymer profileand composite sheathings was evaluated experimentally and numerically. Full‐scale wall panels were testedunder axial compression to investigate critical design parameters including presence of wall sheathing, connec-tions between sheathing and frame, width of the panel, and frame configurations. The results showed that thefailure of the wall panels, where top and bottom plates are extended throughout the width, is governed by thelateral deformation of the plate due to their low transverse strength and stiffness. Finite element (FE) results ofthe composite wall systems with extended studs showed that they are ten times stiffer and stronger than thewalls with extended plates. This study demonstrated the high potential offibre composite materials for themodular wall systems.
