Abstract

DC60 (17/11/47) To improve sound damping in pre-assembled building elements with two parallel wire mesh sheets 1, 2 are connected by a wire mesh 7, 7', with an insulating material (8) such as foam plastic in between. Concrete is then sprayed onto both sides of the wire mesh to form the inner and outer shells. The concrete shells are connected by making holes in the insulating material which, when sprayed, create a concrete mesh or plugs (14,14') that connect the two concrete shells, thus preventing vibration, noise, and resonance of the concrete shells. The holes (10,11,11') can be cast in during the production of the insulating material (8) or drilled or pressed through and may be drawn at a right angle through the main lines of the foam or at an angle that should be downward and randomly distributed to improve sound damping in pre-assembled building elements with two wire mesh sheets. Two parallel wires 1,2 are connected by a wire mesh 7,7', covering in between the insulation material (8), such as foam plastic. Concrete is then sprayed onto both sides of the wire mesh to form the inner and outer shells. The concrete shells are connected by making holes in the insulation material which, when sprayed, create a concrete mesh or plugs (14,14') that connect the two concrete shells, thus preventing vibration, noise, and resonance of the concrete shells. The holes (10,11,11') can be cast in during the production of the insulation material (8), or drilled or pressed through, and may be drawn at a right angle through the main lines of the foam or at an angle where appropriate, downward and randomly distributed.
