Pre-stressed insulated concrete panels and methods for making and using the same

A wall structure formed in a method comprising:

• forming a 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, said forming step taking place on a base form at a job site of the building;
• and
• moving the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel from the base form on the job site to a wall location of the building on the job site, wherein:
• the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel comprises one or more embedded panel components, said one or more embedded panel components comprising one or more of:
• (i) an insulation board, (ii) vertical rebar pieces, (iii) horizontal rebar pieces, (iv) vertical rebar pieces and horizontal rebar pieces arranged in at least one layer of rebar, (v) at least one layer of fence material, (vi) from about 3 to about 8 chair supports, (vii) from about 6 to about 16 pieces of pipe material positioned thru holes along and proximate top and bottom edges of the front and back side panels, (viii) a plurality of wythe tie pins in a grid pattern through pre-drilled holes extending through the insulation board, (ix) a plurality of pre-stressing members, or (x) any combination of (i) to (ix).

A method of making a wall structure of a building, said method comprising:

• forming a pre-stressed insulated concrete panel having a concrete panel thickness, a concrete panel width, and a concrete panel length, the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel comprising concrete and a plurality of tensioned prestressing members extending through the concrete, said forming step taking place on a base form at a job site of the building;
• and
• moving the pre-stressed insulated concrete panel from the base form on the job site to a wall location of the building on the job site, wherein:
• the concrete panel thickness extends in a horizontal orientation, the concrete panel width extends in a vertical orientation, and the concrete panel length extends in a horizontal orientation, and said plurality of tensioned prestressing members extend along the concrete panel length in a horizontal orientation during said forming step;
• the 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 (iii) first and second form end panels extending along the concrete panel width and the concrete panel thickness, and
• 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.
