Stay-in-place concrete floor and ceiling system without steel reinforcing made from recycled wind blades

Abstract

A building component system including a rigid plastic or fiberglass (FRP) form made from one of various shapes, an example of one such shape having an arch in each of two perpendicular vertical planes and having a plurality of protrusions configured to engage concrete poured on top of the rigid plastic form. The plastic is recycled plastic from wind turbine blades or consumer products such as plastic bottles. The plastic can be fiber reinforced such as an FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic). The system also includes concrete poured on top of the form and cured to bind to the form at least at the plurality of protrusions, thereby forming an arched ceiling for a first story of a building and a flat roof or flat floor for a second story of a building. Bridge decking is another application, for use in infrastructure.
