packaging industry. The application of their corrugated cardboards has been limited to the packaging industry._x000D_
Moreover, the traditional cardboard industry is seasonal. Expanding the product spectrum could give the_x000D_
company a product which demand would not be dependant of seasons like most of their current products._x000D_
Keeping the plant busy during "slow season" could lead to more investments which would benefit the local_x000D_
economy. There are many potentials for the cardboard products to be implemented into lightweight insulated_x000D_
wall panels in the building and construction industry. As wall panels in building are under variable pressure_x000D_
and suction due to wind and dynamic loading in extreme high wind events and possible flying objects during_x000D_
wind storms, the application of the cardboard product needs sophisticated experimental studies. The objective_x000D_
of this project is characterizing the behavior of wall panels made of cardboard cores using advanced analytical_x000D_
and experimental studies under static and impact loadings (Dr. Sadeghian's expertise). The study will enable_x000D_
the company to optimize their cardboard design towards building and construction applications and possibly_x000D_
opening new markets for their products. The project will also provide a strong platform for training of highly_x000D_
