Abstract
One of the main restrictions in adopting polymer composite materials for primary and secondary structural applications in marine vessels over 50 meters in length is concerns regarding fire retardancy and also a lack of design guidelines in general. The aim of this study is to evaluate the edgewise compression strength and core-shear strength of a fire retardant sandwich structure reinforced with through thickness composite ‘bridges’ under ambient conditions. These properties are important for structural components subjected to in-plane loads such as bulkheads. Core shear strength of the through-thickness reinforced sandwich far exceeded non-reinforced sandwich. However, edgewise compression strength and stiffness of the reinforced case was found to be similar to the unreinforced case.
