Journal Article
Kermani, A., & Hairstans, R. (2006). Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels. Journal of Structural Engineering, 132(11), 1806-1812. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%290733-9445%282006%29132%3A11%281806%29

Formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a viable alternative to traditional wood stud shear walls. Developed in North America, SIPs satisfy building... Read More about Racking Performance of Structural Insulated Panels.
