Description

A prefabricated modular building panel
Field
The present invention relates to a prefabricated building panel. More particularly, the invention relates to a prefabricated building panel which can be used to modularly construct a wall module of a building.
Background
The construction of buildings is typically performed entirely on the building site, through the use of either block build or timber frame construction techniques. However, more recently, there have been some developments in prefabricated building structures, in an attempt to move some of the construction process off site.
One such known structure is a precast external wall system which comprises an internal wall leaf for a building. However, it will be appreciated that the construction of a building using this type of precast structure still requires substantial construction to be performed on site, such as brick laying, external and internal finishes and services.
Another known prefabricated building structure is a steel frame housing system.
However, this system suffers from the same drawback as the precast external wall system, namely that it only provides the internal leaf of a building.
Prefabricated panelised wall systems are also known. However, the majority of such systems are only of simple design, satisfying relatively simple technical requirements, and are not compliant with building regulations. The few existing prefabricated panelised wall systems which are of higher quality tend to be priced at a cost beyond the reach of the general construction industry.
It will be appreciated therefore that there exists a need to provide a prefabricated building structure which overcomes at least some of the above mentioned problems.
Summary
The present invention relates to a prefabricated building panel which can be used to modularly construct for example an external wall of a building.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the prefabricated building panel comprises an outer leaf which consists of a layer of cementitious material such as precast concrete. A weep vent is casted into the base of the outer leaf to facilitate vertical drainage. An insulation layer is placed adjacent to the outer leaf and in between the outer leaf and an inner leaf. An unventilated air cavity is formed between the outer leaf and the insulation layer. The inner leaf includes a metal frame generally made of light gauge steel. The metal frame comprises a horizontally running top plate and a bottom plate running parallel to the top plate. A plurality of vertically running metal studs interconnect the top plate and the bottom plate.
An Air and Vapour Control Layer (AVCL) is disposed between and in contact with the insulation layer and the metal studs. The outer leaf, the insulation layer and the AVCL are secured to the metal studs using a fastening means. At least one layer of plasterboard is coupled adjacent to the other side of the inner leaf, that is the side opposite to one wherein the insulation layer and the AVCL is disposed. The plasterboard(s) is fastened to the metal studs. The panel further comprises a coupling mechanism for coupling the panel to other panels.
The prefabricated panel as disclosed in the present invention has multiple utilities and can be used as an external wall panel, load bearing partition wall and non-load bearing partition wall. The prefabricated modular building panel of the present invention provides numerous advantages when compared to existing prefabricated building structures. Firstly, as each panel is manufactured entirely off site in a controlled factory environment by using highly automated production techniques, each panel can be manufactured efficiently, and a very high level of quality control can be achieved.
Furthermore, due to the panels being prefabricated off site, they require minimal and simple installation on site, thus resulting in a significant reduction in construction time and on site labour when compared to a conventional build. This in turn results in savings in overall construction costs Since the building panels disclosed by the present invention are connected by means of bolts and/or screws rather than conventional dowel and grout tube connections which tend to be slow to fit and slow to cure, installation time is further reduced. The prefabricated panels of the present invention are fully compliant with current building regulations in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Furthermore, the exact specifications of the prefabricated building panels disclosed in the present invention are custom designed based on the requirements of the construction project, in contrast to existing prefabricated building panels which are made using a standard design. The present invention hence provides a building panel which is extremely flexible in terms of its end use.
Brief Description of the Drawings
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of an embodiment thereof, given by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of the prefabricated modular building panel of the invention; Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a cross section of the prefabricated modular building panel of Figure 1 in use as an external wall module; Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of a fastening means as per an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a joint between two prefabricated modular building panels and a roof cassette; and Figure 5 illustrates a coupling mechanism as per a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description of the Drawings
The prefabricated modular building panel as per the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures The present invention provides a prefabricated modular building panel which is suitable for use as an external wall, load bearing partition wall or a non-load bearing partition wall in a building.
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention used as an external wall module As shown, the prefabricated building panel as per the present invention comprises in combination, a plurality of juxtaposed contacting layers of substantially equal dimensions Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention used as an external wall module. It comprises an outer leaf 201 made of a layer of cementitious material, an inner leaf comprising a metal frame, an insulation layer 203, an unventilated air cavity 202, an Air and Vapour Control layer (AVCL) 205, and a fastening means 204 for anchoring the outer leaf 201, the insulation layer 203, and the AVCL 205 to the inner leaf.
The outer leaf 201 is made of cementitious material. The term cementitious material includes and has reference to, any flovvable, hardenable material such as concrete or other similar material which can be formed or poured while it is in a flowable state and which subsequently hardens to form the required structure. In a preferred embodiment, the water management system used for the wall modules comprises Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) gaskets provided to all vertical and bottom edges of each wall module, behind which a water management membrane is fitted. The membrane comprises of geotextile material and has a core consisting of material such as high-density polyethylene, which is adapted for use in vertical applications. A weep vent 209 is casted into the base of the outer leaf to facilitate vertical drainage. The weep vent 209 allows water collected inside the outer leaf 201 to dissipate to the external face of the
S
panel. The weep vent 201 also prevents entry of large nest building insects into the wall module It shall be ensured that the weep vent 209 is not blocked by mortar or by any other construction material. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the weep vent 209 is made of injection moulded polypropylene.
The insulation layer 203 is placed adjacent to the outer leaf 201. Insulation material such as Polyisocyanurate could be used as the insulation layer 203. The air cavity 202 is formed between the outer leaf 201 and the insulation layer 203. The inner leaf is placed adjacent to the first insulation layer 203 and further comprises a metal frame. The air cavity 202 shields the inner leaf from any moisture that may penetrate the outer leaf 201. The air cavity 202 hence keeps the inner leaf dry and protects it from dampness and decay. The air cavity 202 also allows evaporation of any water deposited in the outer leaf 201. The air cavity 202 is formed using a drainage membrane which is a dimpled plastic membrane overlain by a geotextile membrane. The cementitious material comprising the outer leaf 201 is poured against the geotextile membrane which will ultimately allow moisture that has breached the outer leaf 201 to make its way into the air cavity 202 for expulsion down through the air cavity 202 and out through the weep vent 209. Holes are cut in the drainage membrane to allow it to align with the weep vent 209. In a preferred embodiment, the geotextile membrane comprises of non-woven filtration material and is bonded to the dimpled side of the plastic membrane.
The drainage membrane is resistant to the adverse effects of short-term exposure to UV light and is also resistant to degradation by acids, alkalis and other common chemicals and the effects of bacteria, fungi and mould found in construction materials.
The metal frame as per the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a narrow-gauge frame made of light gauge steel and is coated with a protective zinc rich metal coating. The metal frame has a top plate and a bottom plate running parallel to the top plate. A plurality of perpendicularly running metal studs 207 connect the top plate and the bottom plate. In a preferred embodiment, the metal studs 207 comprises a C-channel and are fixed to the top and bottom plates using self-tapping galvanised steel screws.
The screws are precisely located in pre-punched holes in the metal studs 207, which match the holes in the top plate and bottom plate. The pre-punched holes in the metal studs 207 are dimpled which allows the flat topped self-tapping galvanised steel screws to be flush with the metal surface The inner leaf comprising the metal frame is load bearing and the outer leaf 201 provides resistance to lateral loads. The insulation layer 203 ensures thermal, acoustic and fire insulation of the building panel. The Air and Vapour control layer (AVCL) 205 is kept in between and in contact with the insulation layer 203 and the metal studs 207. The AVCL 205 prevents migration of moisture laden air from the dwelling and also doubles as an airtight barrier. The insulation layer 203 in conjunction with the AVCL 205 prevents formation of condensation within the structure.
The outer leaf 201, insulation layer 203and the AVCL 205 are anchored to the metal studs 207 of the inner leaf using a fastening means 204. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fastening means 204 used is a stainless-steel hook and anchor wall tie system. As shown in Figure 3, the wall tie system comprises of two parts, a wing nut anchor 204a and a hook 204b. As shown in Figure 3, the wing nut anchor 204a comprises a steel reinforced wing 204c which is coated with highly flame resistant plastic which in turn acts as a thermal break, thereby decreasing heat transfer through the insulation layer 203 and the AVCL 205. The thermally broken wing nut anchor 204a screws into the metal frame through its one end 204f and has holes 204d formed on it in which the U-shaped hook 204b is slotted. The wing nut anchor 204a has an EPDM washer 204e which acts as an air barrier. Wind loads on the front and rear elevations are transferred from the outer leaf 201 to the inner leaf by the fastening means 204.
At least one layer of plasterboard 208 is placed adjacent to and in contact with the other side of the inner leaf, that is the side opposite to the one wherein the insulation layer 203 and the AVCL 205 is disposed. The number, grade and thickness of plasterboards 208 used depends on load bearing requirements and the weather conditions at the place where the dwelling is situated. The plasterboards 208 are fastened to the metal frame using self-drill or self-tap screws. All fasteners used are adequately protected against corrosion.
Figure 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a joint between two building panels as per the present invention and a roof cassette. As shown, a firestop 401 is disposed between the building panel and roof cassette joints to enable fire separation. The firestop 401 substantially reduces the risk of fire passing through the joints. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the firestop enables at least 60 minutes of fire resistance.
A coupling mechanism in the form of bolts and/or screws is provided to connect each building panel to the structural slab and to adjacent panels and to a roof cassette. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention shown in Figure 5, the building panel is fixed to the structural slab using a holding down bolt 501, the building panel is bolted to the roof cassette using light gauge angles 502a,502b, adjacent panels are bolted to each other using screws 503a, and for areas in the perpendicular building panel which are not connected to the metal studs 207, light gauge angles with flat head screws are used.
The prefabricated building panel of the present invention is manufactured off site in a factory to meet the technical specifications for where it is to be used. The manufacture of each panel involves a blend of structural steel design, concrete design, composite design, finite element analysis and 3D building information modelling. For example, where the panel is to be used as an external wall panel in a location of a building where a window is to be positioned, the manufacture of the panel may include providing an aperture the dimensions of the selected window frame through the panel for receiving the window frame.
The building panel of the present invention can be incorporated into any type of building, for example a detached, semi-detached, terraced or apartment building up to six stories Once the building panel is manufactured based on the desired technical specifications, it can be installed on site without requiring any specialised foundation preparation. For example, when the panel is in the form of a wall panel, each panel is first placed
S
freestanding on the foundations as an individual module. The panels are then connected together to form the complete wall by means of the coupling mechanism, for example the bolts illustrated in Figure 5, In the specification the terms "comprise, comprises, comprised and comprising" or any variation thereof and the terms include, includes, included and including" or any variation thereof are considered to be totally interchangeable and they should all be afforded the widest possible interpretation and vice versa Although the present invention has been deserbed with reference to specific embodiments. tins description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternate embodiments of the subject matter; will become apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description of the subject matter, it is therefore contemplated that such modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention as defined.
