Abstract
A frame assembly is constructed from a plurality of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structural components and is configured to provide a dry seal at a joint between frame assemblies. The frame assembly comprises FRP C-channel structural components joined together with FRP corner connectors. The FRP C-channel structural components and the FRP corner connectors are designed to employ a flexible waterproofing material that provides a dry seal at the joint where the frame assembly joins to another frame assembly.
Claims17
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a plurality of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) C-channel structural components;
- and
- a plurality of FRP corner connectors that join together the plurality of FRP C-channel structural components to provide a panelized wall assembly;
- the plurality of FRP C-channel structural components and the plurality of FRP corner connectors configured to employ a flexible waterproofing material that provides a dry seal for at least one panel joint where the panelized wall assembly meets another panelized wall assembly.
