One type of material is the Insulated Sandwich Panel System consists of
prefabricated panels of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two parallel
sheets
of galvanized steel wire mesh that are assembled, and then sprayed with
concrete on-
site. Another type of technique is Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) technology,
which
uses expanded polystyrene foam as forms tied together with plastic or steel
ties into
which concrete is poured for building walls. The Structural Insulated Panels
(SIPs)
System, which combines structural framing and foam insulation into one product
is
also another technique. All of which are use for walls, floors and maybe
roofing.
In terms of fire safety, large use of combustible-insulated sandwich panels,
especially in the food industries, have resulted in severe fire losses.
Insurers are now
aware that the presence of this sandwich panels constitute a big fire risk in
any type of
industry.
The applicant is also aware of the following references, which disclose

While with the above prior arts mentioned earlier has found acceptance, the
techniques are costly and limited in terms of functionality when it comes to
design
criteria and multi-purpose utilization.
The new invention is a dimensional multi-purpose panel using recycled plastic
and steel for concrete construction, which serves as a lightweight framework
for
pour-in-place concrete.
The novel invention can be utilized as a structural framework for walls,
floors
and roof, particularly in commercial building, as well as a protection for
natural
degradation of structural members exposed to weather such as columns and
piers.
The new panel also allows different kinds of insulating materials including
possibility of compacted rice hulls and blast proof insulation, which can be
inserted in
the ribs.
Today, integration of natural degradation and blast protection in buildings
and
structures in the design criteria of building and construction materials has
been taken
into consideration. Suggestions include considering incorporating internal
damping
into the structural system to absorb the blast, the use of symmetric
reinforcement can
increase the ultimate load capacity of the structure and to consider the use
of wire
mesh to reduce the incidence of flying fragments.
4
CA 3150113 2022-02-28
Another advantage of the novel invention is that it can be utilized as a
framework to mitigate the effects of blast on structures including walls. This
can be
made possible by inserting blast proof insulation and spray concrete mixture
on the
panel to form a monolithic structure.
Conduit pipes for electrical wiring and heating coils for radiant heating can
be
installed in walls and floors prior to pouring or spraying of concrete, which
is
advantageous in terms of fire safety and comfort.
Since the new invention is a dimensional multi-purpose panel using recycled
plastics and steel. Numerous advantages of plastics include resistance to
chemicals,
can be both thermal and electrical insulators and are very lightweight with
varying
degree of strength. Even in home construction, it helps to conserve energy
wherein
the same principle applies in refrigerators and air conditioners. Plastic
parts and
insulation have helped to improve their efficiency by 30- 50% since the early
1970s.
Recycled materials including steel-reinforcing bars also constitute to one of
the construction industry's most environmentally friendly products,
manufactured
almost entirely from recycled materials and completely recyclable, with a high
value
in the recycling market. Producing reinforcing bars and steel wire from
recycled steel
results in dramatic power savings. Each year, in fact, making reinforcing bars
from
recycled steel rather than virgin feedstock saves enough energy to electrify
roughly
one-fifth of all US households.
Another component of the new invention is the welded wire fabrics or mesh
wires, which are better and economic crack resistant with thinner wire and
close
spacing that serves most effectively in countering the non-load phenomena or
strain
induced stresses due to shrinkage and temperature changes. Savings of labour,
time
and bending of wire materials also contribute to economic aspect.

The current invention is directed towards a novel building for use in the
construction industry comprising: (a) steel reinforcement assembly as first
component
(b) plastic assembly or core as the second component and (c) another steel
reinforcement assembly as the third component.
Aside from the above advantages, this invention provides the elements and
method thereby reducing cost, shortens the duration of construction, ease in
installation, creates a livable, comfortable and safe built environment while
it resolves
some environmental issues and promotes sustainability.

wherein the interval between each longitudinal open web studs correspond to
the
location on center of the width of the outer planar side of the ribs on the
plastic form
backing while the transverse open web studs at a corresponding intervals. The
transverse open web stud can be cut to a length corresponding the inside
distance
between the longitudinal open web studs. Both ends of the transverse open web
studs
are welded to the longitudinal open web studs, respectively. This form the
welded
wires mesh, the longitudinal and transverse open web studs assembly of the
steel
reinforcement components.
To attached this welded wire mesh and open web stud assembly to the plastic
form backing is done by snapping the plain steel wire of the longitudinal open
web
studs to one end of the plastic connector that is shape like a clasp with
inner radius
corresponding to the outer radius of the longitudinal open web studs in order
to secure
it tightly. In this manner, the steel reinforcement components are attached on
both
sides of the plastic form backing which completes the assembly of the
dimensional
multi-purpose panel.

CA 3150113 2022-02-28
In retrospect to the components of this new invention, the plastic form
backing using recycled plastics can be manufactured in conformity to its
desired
dimension and thickness or can be obtained from thermoforming companies.
Likewise, wire mesh is a prior art and the longitudinal and transverse open
web studs
can be assembled mechanically in the same manner as the wire mesh.
To join one panel to another i.e. wall construction, the tongue design of the
edge on one side of the plastic form backing can be snapped to the groove and
sealed
tight while the reinforcement assembly can be joined and secured by using tie
wires.
The panel can be cut for windows and door opening by using bolt cutter or any

EXAMPLES OF INTENDED USE OF THE INVENTION
An important advantage of the novel invention is its versatility as a building
material as it can be utilized as a permanent formwork, as a framework for
natural
degradation and to mitigate the effect of blast on columns and piers
particularly. This
can be understood in the drawing Fig. 10 that is an illustrated isometric view
of a
concrete column C showing a portion of the panel 1, and reinforcing bars R
with
stirrups S.
In constructing a reinforced concrete column, the vertical reinforcing bars
are
attached either by welding or tie wire to the foundation reinforcement after
which the
concrete mix will be poured into the footing or foundation, the stirrups or
hoops will
be installed and secured by welding or tie wire around the perimeter of the
reinforcing
bars after which the formwork is erected and secured properly so pouring of
concrete
for the column will be applied.
The same method is applied in construction of columns utilizing the new
invention as a permanent formwork. Referring to Fig. 10, once panels 1 are
erected,
all corner joints are measured, cut and glued i.e. the plastic form backing
joints, and
all reinforcement assemblies are tied or spot weld, installation of all
necessary
insulation including may be blast proofing materials in the ribs 12 and 14
(Fig.2) of
the new invention can be done after which concrete mix can be sprayed on the
outer
side of panel 1 to a desired thickness.

CA 3150113 2022-02-28
The transverse open web stud assembly 5 can be cut and oriented
perpendicular to the longitudinal open web stud assembly 6 in order that plain
steel wire 5a can be aligned and in contact with plain steel wire 6a of both
transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6, respectively and can be
joined by welding, as shown in Fig. 2. This process is applied in all
transverse
and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6 welding connections except on both
ends of the longitudinal open web studs 6. A continuous length of transverse
open web studs 5 can be place and oriented perpendicularly to abut to one end
of the longitudinal open web stud 6 and another continuous transverse open
web stud 5 on the opposite end and all joints can be welded together.
(c) Once all transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6,
respectively are
cut in detail to correspond to the dimension of the plastic assembly 3 i.e.
length of transverse open web stud 5 will correspond to the width of the
plastic assembly 3 and interconnected by welding. To complete the
reinforcement component is by welding the wire mesh of equal dimension of
the plastic form backing 8 as shown in Fig. 2 to all the joints of the
transverse
and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6 assembly, respectively.
(d) The plastic component as shown in Fig. 2 comprising of plastic form
backing
8 and plastic connector 9 can be obtained from thermoforming companies
who can manufacture and pre assemble said plastic components based on
specification and technical description provided. Another process is obtaining
the plastic form backing 8 and plastic connectors 9 from thermoforming
companies and assemble the two elements by gluing using high strength
bonding solution. Placement of the plastic connector 9 can be oriented in a
manner so that the base 9b (Fig. 5) is co-planar to the surface of the ribs 12
and 14 (Fig. 2) and the center of the clasp 9a will coincide with the center
of
the ribs 12 and 14

A curing time for the freshly applied concrete on the outer side of panel 1
may
be 1 or 2 days before the final pouring of concrete mixture for the column can
be
done. This is one important advantage of the new invention, which also serves
as an
encasement or concrete confinement particularly in columns exposed to weather
condition and above ground independent columns or piers.
Utilizing as a framework for concrete foundation wall particularly in
residential basement construction is another important advantage of the new
invention. Foundation basics include all foundation wall types need to sit on
a footing
that sits below the frost grade.
One type is the poured concrete foundation wall constructed by erecting
forms on top of the footings, after which concrete mix is poured into. Once
the
concrete foundation walls have partially cured the forms are removed. After it
has
reached curing time the foundation is ready to be backfilled. But prior to
backfilling
of the exterior side of the foundation wall, the basement floor slab
preferably should
be poured with concrete, which adds backpressure to the foundation wall and
footing.
The method of using the new invention as framework for poured in place
concrete for foundation wall and floor slab includes erecting the panels once
the
footings are set. Dowel reinforcement should be placed perpendicular to the
reinforcement of the footing and can be tied using tie wires before the
spraying of the
concrete mix is done. Dowel reinforcement means a steel rod or reinforcing bar
embedded across the joint where two pieces of concrete join to strengthen and
to
prevent cracking.
The panel can be inserted on the dowel reinforcement and aligned with the
footing to desired specification. The dowel reinforcement can be joined and
tied with
a tie wire to the reinforcement assembly of the panel.
CA 3150113 2022-02-28
This could be best understood in Fig. 11, which is an isometric view
illustrating a concrete foundation wall and footing joint showing a portion of
the
panel 1.
The concrete wall W is joined with the footing F where the reinforcing bars R
of the footing being laid horizontally and dowel reinforcement D oriented
vertically
can be tied using tie wires to the reinforcement assembly of the panel 1.
Application
method of concrete mix can be done by pneumatic machine or manually. The
insulating materials I can be inserted into the ribs of panel 1 prior to the
spraying of
concrete mix. Any conduit pipes for electrical and heating coils can be
embedded and
tied to the reinforcement assembly of the new invention before the final
pouring or
spraying of concrete mix.
