5E PANELS
5E panel is a three-layer construction with spatial frame in which wires (reinforcement) of larger diameter can be used, as opposed to the second-generation technology. The panels consist of a polystyrene filler from 100 to 500 mm thick, sandwiched between two plane-parallel trusses which permeate the filler.
5E Panel system integrates Styrofoam and wire truss. This is an extremely effective material for the construction industry and beyond. It has many advantages over the materials that are used in market today. The rebar truss combined with concrete qualifies for intense structural integrity, its load bearing capacity and lightness of weight make the wall panels unique and earthquake resistant.
Panels represent a system for fast construction of buildings and structures for various purposes. Technology is based on the use of universal wall materials - the world-famous sandwich panel and the method of shotcreting. Shotcreting [from Latin (tec) tor (ium) - plaster and (con) cret (us)- sealed], the method of concrete work , in which the concrete mixture is applied in layers to the concreted surface under the pressure of compressed air. This technology is not experimental. It is an evolution of SIP panels and 3D - panels of polystyrene foam already present in the market but with a number of significant differences.
The basis of this panel is metal trusses, which increase significantly the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the wall. Polystyrene core is light and heat-effective. Metal trusses support heavy loads with a minimal use of metal. The shell of heavy-duty shotcrete is extremely durable.
A cross frame is rigidly connected with polystyrene so that the air cannot get inside the structure. As a result, this frame does not let the bridge of cold air in between the outer and inner sides of the panels. And there is no corrosion of internal cross bars, because no dew point exists. At the junction of wall panels and beams, "concreting" of the interface must be performed to prevent the fire spreading to the upper floors in case of an emergency.
The plastering of walls is made with a concrete sprayer, applying special mixtures. By optimizing the water-to-cement ratio, the strength of the applied layer is increased several times. After spraying the panels (applying an outer layer of the coating plaster of about 5 cm), the panel can bear considerable load, both vertically and horizontally (bending moment).
The bending moment is compensated by the spatial structure, which is created by the reinforced shotcrete
outer and inner layers and a frame. The internal non-working
part of our construction is filled with polystyrene foam that facilitates the structure and improves its thermal and sound insulation properties.
