A LIGHT-WEIGHT, PRE-CAST, BI-AXIALLY RIBBED, FIBRE-REINFORCED CONCRETE PANEL FOR USE IN BUILDING AND ROAD-CONSTRUCTION AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AND CLADDING THE SAME

摘要

This invention relates to making of bi-axially stiffened membrane panels made of fibre-reinforced concrete to be used for construction of walls/roofs/floors of buildings as also of roads and of other structural components needed for post- tensioned segmental construction of various types of structures like bridges etc. The stiffeners of these panels are made generally, taperless to keep their weight low even when they are very deep (say 61 Cm). The stiffeners can be given various shapes like I-sections and can be metal-encased also. For achieving such novel-shaped stiffeners,new type of formworks made of a combination of steel/wood and thermocole is used. The invention also involves manufacturing of various types of claddings (which can be modular also)for the panels for achieving higher architectural flexibility of both the exteriors and interiors of the houses.
