The paper deals with the experimental and theoretical study of the behavior of panels made with large lightly reinforced concrete walls–wood blocks system (LLRCW– WBS). The results of a series of centered axial compression tests performed on slender and squat panels made with the above mentioned system are presented. The theoretical studies carried out in order to estimate the local and global buckling collapse load as a function of significant parameters are then introduced. Theoretical analyses have been conducted on the basis of already established studies aiming to produce appropriate calculation methods for the design of LLRCW–WBS panels subjected to axial compressive actions. The results from theoretical analyses have been compared with those obtained from tests which resulted in an adequate correspondence.

Abstract
The paper deals with the experimental and theoretical study of the behavior of panels made with large lightly reinforced concrete walls–wood blocks system (LLRCW– WBS). The results of a series of centered axial compression tests performed on slender and squat panels made with the above mentioned system are presented. The theoretical studies carried out in order to estimate the local and global buckling collapse load as a function of significant parameters are then introduced. Theoretical analyses have been conducted on the basis of already established studies aiming to produce appropriate calculation methods for the design of LLRCW–WBS panels subjected to axial compressive actions. The results from theoretical analyses have been compared with those obtained from tests which resulted in an adequate correspondence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
