Abstract
Pre-stressed insulated concrete panels are disclosed. Methods of making and using pre-stressed insulated concrete panels are also disclosed.
Claims20
A method of making a pre-stressed insulated concrete panel, said method comprising:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel with a concrete panel thickness of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a horizontal orientation, a concrete panel width of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a vertical orientation, and a concrete panel length of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a horizontal orientation,
- wherein said forming step comprises:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel on a base form, wherein said forming step comprises:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel on (i) the base form and between (ii) front and back side panels extending along the concrete panel width and the concrete panel length, and (ii) first and second form end panels extending along the concrete panel width and the concrete panel thickness, and
- wherein the base form comprises (a) one or more first base form holes within an upper surface of the base form, and said forming step comprises attaching the first and second form end panels to an upper surface of the base form via the one or more first base form holes, and (b) one or more second base form holes within an upper surface of the base form, and said forming step comprises attaching the front and back side panels to the base form via the one or more second base form holes.

A method of making a pre-stressed insulated concrete panel, said method comprising:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel with a concrete panel thickness of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a horizontal orientation, a concrete panel width of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a vertical orientation, and a concrete panel length of the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel extending in a horizontal orientation,
- wherein said forming step comprises:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel on a base form, wherein said forming step comprises:
- forming the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel on (i) the base form and between (ii) front and back side panels extending along the concrete panel width and the concrete panel length, and (ii) first and second form end panels extending along the concrete panel width and the concrete panel thickness, and
- wherein said forming step comprises forming two pre-stressed insulated concrete panels along the base form during a single batch formation step, and said forming step comprises forming each of the two pre-stressed insulated concrete panels on (i) the base form and between (ii) two sets of front and back side panels extending along a concrete panel width PW and a concrete panel length PL, and (ii) two sets of first and second form end panels extending along the concrete panel width PW and the concrete panel thickness PT.
