INTRODUCTION TO EPS CORE PANEL SYSTEM
Introduction Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core Panel system may be a modern, efficient, safe.And economic construction system for the development of buildings. These building panels are often used both as load bearing also as non-load bearing elements. EPS core panel may be a 3D panel consisting of 3-dimensional welded wire space frame given the polystyrene insulation core. The Panel is placed in position and shotcrete on both the edges.
The EPS panels contains a 3-dimensional welded wire space frame utilizing a truss concept for stress transfer and stiffness EPS panel includes welded reinforcing meshes of high-strength wire, diagonal wire and self-extinguishing expanded polystyrene uncoated concrete, manufactured within the factory and shotcrete is applied to the panel assembled at the development site.Which provides the bearing capacity of the structure.
EPS panel after shotcrete has the following five components.
- The outer layer of shotcrete.
- Welded reinforcing mesh of high wire.
- The core of expanded polystyrene sheet.
- Diagonal wire (stainless or galvanized wire).
- The inner layer of shotcrete.
The welded mesh fabric connected piercing polystyrene with truss of steel wire, welded to the welded fabric at an angle. It gives a rigidity spatial structure, and simultaneously prevents polystyrene core shifting.
Some of the benefits of the EPS Core panel systems are as follows:
- It Reduce the cost of construction material by 30% and Labor by 50%
- Eps building panels reduces Construction period
- Reduce transport cost. Light weight panels: don’t requires cranes and other heavy construction equipment. (A Standard panel of size (1.2×3) m without shotcrete weighs 20 kg)
- iv. The installation doesn’t need heavy construction equipment.
- v. Ensure high levels of thermal insulation, sound insulation, also as sanitary and fire safety.
- vi. EPS 3-D panels allow no additional cost to erect buildings in areas with moving soil, especially heaving, subsidence, frozen ground, and remote areas.
- vii. Strength and sturdiness – used extruded polystyrene virtually inert.And doesn’t absorb moisture, is durable and immune to decay.
A number of the restrictions of the EPS Core Panel System:
- EPS Panel construction system may only be utilized in the development of foundation walls supporting 5 story’s or less, unless designed by knowledgeable engineer.
- Concrete must be applied by either the “shotcrete dry” or “shotcrete wet” process in accordance with ACI 506 R-85, “Guide to Shotcrete,” by the American Concrete Institute.
- Compressive strength of concrete shall not be but 20 MPa.
The steel reinforcement shall have a minimum allowable stress (fy) of 415 MPa. The EPS Core panel system is environment friendly and aesthetically appealing.So they are often constructed quickly leading to savings in construction time and money. The technology has been in use successfully in many African also as European countries with involvement of various agencies.
