Abstract
A precast composite building system usable for walls, roofs, and floors of buildings, comprising a concrete composite panel element having embedded steel I-beams, wire mesh, embed plates, and steel tension reinforcement bars interconnected vertically, horizontally, and angularly by columnar elements rigidly fixed to the supporting foundation, embedded into the panel elements affixed to a transverse steel beam so as to form a perimeter tie-beam connection structure to which additional floor, roof, and wall elements are attached, forming a unitary, superior, load-bearing structure.
Claims12
A precast composite panel assembly comprising:
- a concrete slab;
- a wire mesh embedded in a planar arrangement within said slab;
- at least one steel I-beam having a top flange and bottom flange wherein the planar surface of said bottom flange is positioned flush with the top surface of said concrete slab;
- means for attaching said steel I-beam securely, inflexibly and rigidly within said concrete slab;
- at least one embedded plate fixedly positioned along each of two longitudinal opposing sides of said slab;
- and
- at least one displacement block fixedly positioned on top of each said embedded plate;
- whereby a unitary composite panel structure is formed.
The method of producing a precast composite concrete panel assembly comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a casting mold defined by a planar bottom and walls perpendicularly disposed thereon to confine concrete;
- b) positioning a wire mesh in horizontal planar arrangement within said casting mold;
- c) fixedly attaching embedded plates at intervals along the perimeter edge of said walls of said mold;
- d) positioning a displacement block atop each embedded plate;
- e) fixedly attaching studs at intervals along the bottom surface of one flange of an I-beam;
- f) positioning said I-beam atop said mold such that when the concrete is poured into said mold, said bottom surface of said I-beam flange will be flush with the concrete surface embedding said I-beam studs in said concrete;
- g) pouring concrete evenly into said mold;
- h) allowing said concrete to harden to form a precast composite concrete panel;
- and
- i) removing said panel from said mold.
