Abstract
The invention provides a method for connecting a foam structure to a concrete slab or floor. The connection uses a metal member and bonding agents between the foam and the metal member and bonding agents between the concrete slab or floor and the metal members.
Claims6
A method of connecting a first and second plastic foam structure having opposing major surfaces and a FRC or fiber reinforced coating on the opposing major surfaces to a concrete slab comprising the following steps,
- providing holes in the first plastic foam structure,
- providing metal members,
- bonding the metal members to the first plastic foam structure in the holes using a fiber reinforced coating, the metal members within the first plastic foam structure being bonded to the first plastic foam structure only,
- creating holes in the concrete slab,
- placing the metal members in the holes in the concrete slab,
- bonding the metal members to the concrete slab,
- bonding a second plastic foam structure to the first plastic foam structure,
- then coating with a FRC the opposing major surfaces of the first and second plastic foam structure such that the FRC does not connect to the concrete slab except through the metal members and first and second plastic foam structure.
