What is it about?
To meet the enormous demand for mass housing and seismic protection of buildings and houses, improved products/systems focused on industrialized construction methods are urgently needed. The only feasible alternative to meet the rising demand for housing is to use prefabricated construction methods. Sandwich panels for housing have gained popularity in recent years due to their structural strength, insulation properties, light weight, and aesthetics. Steel-concrete composite frames, one of the most commonly studied sandwich constructions, have sufficient strength, ductility, and stiffness characteristics, making them promising for earthquake-resistant structures. In addition to widely used building materials such as composite columns, beams, and slabs, composite walls are a novel type of construction that uses flat/profiled steel sheets as the facing material and densification concrete between each one. The aim of this research is to create and evaluate prefabricated, light-weight, seismic-resistant, load-bearing steel-concrete composite panels and the connections that link them to form a complete structure. The SFCC (Steel-Foam Concrete Composite) panel is made up of thin profiled steel sheets. REFERENCES

Perspectives
It was a pleasure to write this article because I had long-standing collaborations with its co-authors. The study is really very important as among the most commonly studied sandwich constructions, steel-concrete composite frames have sufficient strength, ductility, and stiffness characteristics to be considered earthquake-resistant.
