Abstract
An improved structural insulated panel and panel joint includes a panel having a core with cementitious facings where the core edge is grooved and along the panel side edges rebated to accommodate a connecting column. A connecting column is “H”-shaped, formed from two “C”-shaped channels sealed together along other webs with legs directed outwardly and for use between two of the panels. Multiple wall structures and details are disclosed.
Claims10
An insulated panel of the type having an insulating core, a reinforced cementitious facing on opposed surfaces of the core, the panel having edges and the core being exposed at edges of the panel, and grooves cut into the core at the panel edges for receiving a connector for connecting two panels together, said panel further comprising:
- an exposed edge of said core between said grooves being disposed inwardly of edges of said cementitious facings at a panel edge.
An insulated wall of the type comprising a plurality of adjoined insulated panels wherein said panels comprise an insulated panel of the type having an insulating core, a reinforced cementitious facing on opposed surfaces of the core, the panel having side, top and bottom edges and the core being exposed at edges of the panel, and grooves cut into the core at the panel edges for receiving a connector for connecting two panels together, said wall further comprising:
- an “H”-shaped connecting column disposed between side edgeportions of adjoining panels;
- said column comprising a pair of back-to-back “C”-shaped channels having legs, the channels sealed together with legs of said channels being oriented in grooves disposed in exposed edges of said cores or respective panels;
- said edges of said cores between said grooves being disposed inwardly of adjacent edges of said panel facings to accommodate said connecting column when respective edges of said facings of adjoining panels are positioned adjacent one another.
An “H”-shaped connecting column for securing together two adjacent insulated wall panels each having an insulated core and an outer facing on each side thereof, with grooves extending into respective adjacent edges of each adjacent panel, said “H”-shaped column comprising:
- two “C”-shaped channels, each having a connecting web and two extending legs, said channels being sealed together along respective connecting webs thereof with respective legs thereof extending outwardly for insertion into respective grooves within said adjacent panel edges.
An insulated foundation wall comprising:
- a first wall formed of adjacent insulated panels having adjacent edges and an “H”-shaped connector column therebetween;
- a second wall formed of adjacent insulated panels having adjacent edges and an “H”-shaped connector column therebetween;
- said “H”-shaped connector columns between said panels in said first wall being offset from said “H”-shaped connector columns between panels in said second wall.
