Precast Insulated Concrete Sandwich Panel Wall System

In this report precast prestressed concrete sandwich wall panels.

Precast insulated concrete sandwich panel wall system.

Typically precast concrete wall systems fall into three basic categories. Each concrete layer also known as a wythe can vary in thickness and can be connected with one of many different types of systems. Carboncast high performance insulated wall panels are composed of two concrete wythes separated by continuous insulation c i. Thin wall is a structural load bearing insulated precast building envelope system that features composite action between concrete wythes.

These can be panelized and erected in either a horizontal or vertical position and used on all types of structures from residential to commercial. An insulated sandwich wall panel consists of two wythes a continuous layer of concrete separated by an insulated void. With the introduction of edge fabcon provides our customers with a precast panel that meets the market need for edge to edge insulation with two load bearing faces and an impressive level of thermal performance. Every precast wall panel has a thick layer of energy efficient thermal insulation integrally sandwiched between a very durable concrete interior and a unique beautiful exterior finish.

With very low thermal conductivity the high strength c grid connectors help deliver a sandwich wall panel with insulation values up to r 37 depending on the thickness and type of foam insulation. A composite sandwich panel built to comply with today s continuous insulation code requirements. The system enables a very energy efficient building with edge to edge eps or xps insulation without thermal bridges and uses less concrete than traditional structural wall panels. The thermomass building insulation system complies with section j of the bca and is a fully integrated highly energy efficient insulated concrete sandwich wall system.

This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum. Precast concrete manufacturing plant shipped to the project site and erected by cranes. Solid sandwich and thin shell. Extruded polystyrene insulation is sandwiched between two concrete layers held together by specially designed thermomass connectors the at a glance page will give you a quick summary of thermomass.

The sandwich wall panel process provides a low cost thermally efficient and decorative alternative to traditional brick and mortar construction. Precast concrete wall systems can be comprised of a variety of shapes and wall types. Because of the wall panel s three layered structure it is sometimes referred to as a sandwich wall panel. The insulated precast concrete panels constructed off site comprise an outer leaf of precast concrete an insulating layer and an inner leaf of plain grey concrete with a power floated finish.
