Book excerpt: The chapter begins by discussing a new type of sandwich panel called composite structural insulated panels (CSIPs) intended to replace the traditional SIPs that are made of wood-based materials. A detailed analytical modeling procedure is presented in order to determine the global buckling, interfacial tensile stress at facesheet/core debonding, critical wrinkling stress at facesheet/core debonding, equivalent stiffness, and deflection for CSIPs. The proposed models were validated using experimental results that have been conducted on full-scale CSIP walls and floor panels. In order to be used as a hazard-resistant material, a detailed section was presented to show the resistance of CSIP elements to the different types of hazard effects, including impact loading, floodwater effect, fire effect, and windstorm loading.
