US 6,385,933 B1 · Precast wall panel

Abstract

A self sustaining, precast concrete wall panel for installation between a building roof structure and a building slab. The wall panel is reinforced by reinforcing rods configured in horizontal and vertical directions within the wall. To add stability to the wall panel a metal plate is placed on top of the wall panel and a wood plate is placed of top of the metal plate. The metal plate in sandwiched between the wood plate and the wall panel by threaded rods and nuts which are tightened on the rods which are embedded in the wall panel and runs vertically through both plates and protrudes through the top portion of the wall panel. A second rod protrudes through the bottom portion of the wall panel. The second rod is placed into holes provided in the floor and epoxied. Epoxy grout is used to fill voids between the wall panel and the slab providing stability to the wall panel. Finally, a ceramic insulation is sprayed on the inside portion of the wall panel to act as an insulator and is aesthetically pleasing enough to act as a finished wall as desired.
