Abstract
This paper presents a numerical model developed to predict the response of partially composite load bearing concrete sandwich panels under axial loads applied to the structural wythe at any eccentricity. The model accounts for material nonlinearity, second-order effects, and cracking of concrete and plasticity of steel reinforcement, and can also model fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) connectors. The analysis uses a bond-slip model to simulate partial composite action between the two wythes resulting from various configurations of insulation and shear connectors. A variety of failure modes can be detected, including concrete crushing, flexural yielding, connectors yielding, pullout or rupture, and stability failures. Progressive failure of connectors is also modeled. The degree of composite action (κu) can be calculated for a given design. The model was verified against experimental data and used to conduct a comprehensive parametric study. It was shown that κu increases with panel length. Connectors’ diameter and spacing greatly affect κu and give similar gains in strength and stiffness at the same connector’s reinforcement ratio (ρv). Connectors inserted at an angle are considerably stronger than those inserted normal to panel face. The insulation bond alone provides a 31% κu without any connectors, but this contribution decreases as ρv increases.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
