2.2.4. Fitting The constructions made of CONCREWALL tip PCS, PCD and PCSol-type panels are performed without difficulties within a precise usual work. The mounting is in compliance with the mounting sheets elaborated by SCHNELL HOUSE SA from Italy and the technical regulations into force regarding the works execution in construction. Handling, transportation and warehousing of the PCS, PCD PCSol-type panels which are part of the bearing and non-bearing elements are made in conformity with the provisions of the manufacturing company. For the bracing of the PCS, PCD panels for walls profiled tied bars are mounted on the support layer, as a result of the structural calculus, being positioned on the both sides of the panel in order to ensure the continuity of the elements within the structure. The distance between these tie bars shall be equal to the distance between the reinforcement meshes (the thickness of the EPS core plus 25mm), that is 2030 cm, being aligned in connection with the external mesh in the case of the simple PCS panel, and for the double PCD panel being aligned toward both external and internal meshes. The tie bars shall be straight and embedded in a foundation. These are tied to the panels reinforcement meshes (Fig.4,5). A special attention shall be drawn upon on a safe embedment into the gunite of the reinforcements which connect the panel and the foundation, the contact between the tie bars and polystyrene being avoided. The connection between the panels is made by overlapping the reinforcement mesh on a panels surface of 50cm. These connections are made with metallic wire or clips. At the jointing of the panels and in the openings an additional reinforcement shall be applied: corner mesh for the corners, flat mesh for the openings reinforcements or other zones in which the initial reinforcement mesh has been removed, mesh for repairing the continuity of the panels shape. The bordering on the inside of the openings (depending on the walls thickness) is made of longitudinal reinforcement resulted from the
AT 010-01/108 - 2008

structural calculus, U type mesh and welded mesh positioned on the panels sides inclined at 45 which is tied to the external reinforcement meshes, mesh which is provided at the same time as the PCS and PCD panels. Both the details of the openings bordering and those of the wall panels jointing are presented in fig. 4...13. The alignment of the EPS sheets and their verticality are checked during the mounting; for ensuring the stability, a temporary horizontal support made out of wood or aluminum or any other elements adequate to the purpose is provided ( fig-14 a). The panels eccentricity measured with lead wire shouldn't oversee 6 mm over the medium generating line. The margin of error of mounting the adjacent frames of the overlapped panels must be of maximum 15mm. Any error which doesnt comply with the aforementioned tolerance limits is considered to be exceptional and the stability of the elements on the matter shall be checked. The mounting of the accessories for the installations shall be done before the concretes layout. In case of mounting some rigid tubes, the reinforcement mesh may be clipped; its continuity shall be subsequently readjusted by means of additional meshes placed on that specific area, as to ensure an overlapping on the initial mesh with at least 15 cm see figure 14 b). The guniting of the panels is executed by using pneumatic protection devices connected to an air compressor with appropriate power or connected to a guniting machine. The pneumatic guniting (fig.14c) shall be executed in two layers: the former layer which shall cover the reinforcement mesh, while the latter shall cover the finishing one in order to achieve a thickness of 3-5 cm. The finishing shall be the Designers choice, and conventional materials shall be used. The prefabricated panels for floors shall be mounted after the wall panels and reinforcements for flanges have been assembled but before the process of exterior guniting with concrete. The PCD panels for floors shall be assembled after the nucleus has been poured in order to ensure the stability of the wall panel (fig.14d).

For the fitting of the prefabricated panels for floors or roofs, wooden props and small sustaining wooden-beams are provided, in order to avoid the panels distortion under the loadings action and afterwards 5 cm of concrete has been poured on the superior side and the inferior side will be covered (3 cm thickness). Assembling details are presented in the fig. 5, detail D, fig.11, details D, H, E. While fitting the CONCREWALL panels, concrete shall be added to the exterior layers of the bearing walls made of PCS panels, to the core of the walls made of PCD panels, to the floors made of PCSol panel. Superficial layers completing the PCD and PCD shall be daubed (used in such cases, the same as non-bearing walls). The concrete and plaster specific features shall be established by the Designer. In case of the multistage buildings, the sequence of the phases shall be repeated from the floor, over the ground floor to the next floor, taking into consideration that the bellow elements of the successive loading will be executed only after the gunited concretes aging. 2.3.

3. Additional mentions regarding the personnel

SCHENLL HOUSE Company from Italy executes CONCREWALL PCS panels for bearing and non-bearing walls, PCD for bearing walls, PCSol for floors. The CONCREWALL PCS type panels are sandwich panels made of EPS fire proofing expanded polystyrene core fitted on both sides with a concrete layer each, slightly reinforced and the PCD panel made up of two sheets of EPS with a reinforced concrete layer cast on the interior and two more exterior concrete layers, slightly reinforced. The CONCREWALL PCS panels shall be executed by means of a "sandwich" made up of two meshes between which polystyrene of certain thickness is introduced. The two meshes shall be rigidly connected by welding with connectors from potassium zincate wire crossing the polystyrene at least 40 times/mp. CONCREWALL PCD panels shall be executed from two simple panels between which the resistance concrete is cast. The two panels are rigidly connected with zincate wire connectors crossing the space in which the concrete shall be cast. The CONCREWALL PCSol panels shall be executed from an EPS mesh within two meshes of reinforcement welded with galvanized wire. The two meshes are connected by means of welded connectors perforating the EPS sheet. The technical features of the panels executed in compliance with the manufacturing conditions and the control of the work quality allow the execution of resistant bearing walls, ensuring safety during the exploitation. Panels shall be mounted on the basis of the technical documentation provided by the manufacturer. Special attention must be given to the process of covering in gunite the joint reinforcements between the panel and the foundation, by avoiding the contact between the anchor bars and polystyrene. On the clients request, the panels mounting process shall be technical assisted by the companys representative. In order to establish the CONCREWALL panels technical performances experimental trials have been performed by METALLURGICA LEDRENSE SOC.COOP, RIVA ACCIAIO S.p.A. LAPI S.p.A Laboratorio Prevenzione Incendi, ISTITUTO GIORDANO S.p.A, UNIVERSIT POLITECNICA DELLE MARCHE - Dipartimento di Architettura, Costruzioni e Strutture, CSI S.p.A-Italia; INCERC Branch Timisoara. The synthesis of the trials results shall be presented in the Table 1 and confirms the compliance within the stipulated limits. During this technical agreement validity period, the manufacturer is bound to comply with the quality technical conditions. The technical data shall be submitted to the technical agreement assessor, for the purpose of the drawing conclusions upon the CONCREWALL TYPE PCS, PCD and PCSol panels behaviour in Romania, in real conditions.
