FRP ROOF MATERIAL, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE ROOF MATERIAL, AND STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING THE ROOF MATERIAL

摘要

An FRP roof material which eliminates the possibility of occurrence of rusting, can provide a light weight and sufficiently high strength and rigidity, can deliver a high insulating feature, can contribute to an increase in earthquake-resistance of a building, and also can be formed in any highly attractive shape easily, characterized by comprising a sandwiched structural body in which a pair of plates (3a, 3b) made of FRP are disposed at an interval and rib structural bodies (4) connecting the pair of plates to each other are provided between them, wherein, when phenol resin is used as FRP matrix resin or refractory material is provided on the surface of the roof material, the roof material excellent also in fire resistance can be obtained and, in addition, when end parts of the material are butted against each other for connection, a resin diffusing medium is disposed between butted end faces, reinforcing fibers are disposed over the entire surface of both end face parts, and resin is filled into the resin diffusing medium so that the resin can be diffused to the reinforcing parts to assure connection.
