  • GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
  • Current and future construction industry transformation advances are taking place within the backdrop of significant challenges. These include production sustainability, constant shortage of skilled workers, transition to more carbon-neutral, environmentally friendly models, clean energy logistics (biomass fuels, hydrogen, electrification), materials tracking via digital identity, automated operations, intelligent control systems, information security, supply chain coordination/visibility, optimized planning, forecasting, and materials replenishment.
  • Invention systems and related technology influence the issues identified above in unique and innovative ways. As detailed in this document, proprietary systems, techniques, methods, and procedures address the entire planning, production, design, and construction process as it improves the efficiency and sustainability of large-scale, multistory residential and commercial structures.
  • Aspects of this invention can integrate and use modular structures, assembly technology and associated processes in one embodiment.
  • The construction of residential and commercial structures is a complicated and complex process. For example, the typical American single-family home is estimated to contain more than 300 distinct components comprising hundreds of individual parts—each having an impact on the quality, appearance, lifecycle, and durability of the structure.
  • Considering the materials used in construction is critical as most significant components are made from natural materials. Typically, lumber is used for framing, siding, and flooring. As it dries over time, it may be subject to warping or cracking. It is unreasonable to expect natural materials to be perfect or remain intact for the structure's lifetime. Traditional building techniques leave the structure exposed to the environment and subjected to weather conditions throughout the process. The complexity of these and many more factors escalates significantly when undertaking large-scale projects.
  • Essential standardization and simplification factors of the technology described in aspects of the present invention include design flexibility. Design flexibility can include simple, repeatable, and scalable elements leveraged for specific development plans and large-scale projects. Structural elements can be added to meet regional location, seismic, and weather zone requirements. Design flexibility can accommodate structures of various sizes and shapes—allowing further expansion and acceleration of construction by introducing customized adaptations to diverse building site conditions.
  • Further, aspects of this invention include accommodations for ease of transportation of each discrete module is optimized during the production process to streamline and facilitate transportation. Predesigned and precast modular components ensure standardized dimensions comply with all applicable regional and local regulations and seamlessly match on-site platform assembly.
  • Further, aspects of this invention include systems and methods to increase energy efficiency. For example, this invention may involve use of foam concrete “sandwich panel” core technology, solid insulating materials, thermally insulated contours, and unique attachment techniques eliminate through joints to improve HVAC and sound insulation properties. This invention will integrate with unique insulation materials, panel design, and technology.
  • Additionally, aspects of the present invention include systems and methods to optimize for production quality. Production quality refers to the production of all components is completed in a hybrid manufacturing factory environment, under highly controlled conditions, which results in strenuously tested solutions. Strict adherence to prescribed standardization and manufacturing tolerances avoid construction problems often observed in traditional building projects. If needed invention can integrate with precise quality controls and software technology.
  • With production time accelerated significantly in the hybrid manufacturing facility and on the construction site, aspects of this invention allow construction teams to complete the building structure significantly faster than the current building-rate average. The simplified, completed structure retains the highest quality, durability, structural strength, and functional qualities. If needed the invention can integrate with hybrid manufacturing and associated production technology.
  • This invention can integrate and utilize simplification and standardization technologies and associated processes in one embodiment.
  • Controlled planning and efficient production sequencing are incorporated early in the design phase, maximizing material resources, reducing production time, monitoring management, and maintaining established budgets. The repetitive elements, maximization and deployment of resources, and the novel precast manufacturing process speed all production and on-site assembly phases. If needed invention may integrate with repeatable manufacturing processes.
  • All panelized and pre-manufactured elements, assemblies, systems, and components minimize total piece (i.e., construction item) counts and facilitate rapid assembly and faster access to all areas of the structure. Pre-manufactured sandwich wall panels include insulation and thermally insulated contours eliminating the need for additional insulation after assembly and construction. Precast and manufactured elements also provide enhanced fire rating standards far beyond those required by established regulations. If need the invention may integrate with pre-manufactured elements, assemblies, and systems.
  • This invention can integrate and utilize speed of installation and pre-manufacturing technologies and associated processes in one embodiment.
  • Over time, modular structure standardization allows for an extensive list of repeatable options, including traditional and non-traditional architectural possibilities, purpose-built molds, customized etching options, and texture options (i.e., smooth, sand, exposed aggregate, polished and honed finishes). In addition, integral color tinting is possible using various pigments and finishing applied at the manufacturing plant.
  • This invention can integrate and utilize product standardization manufacturing technologies and associated processes in one embodiment.
  • These Invention modular precast structures provide functional and aesthetic design flexibility and options, including exterior and interior wall deployment, structural elements, decorative panel techniques, and material finish options. Modular production and associated systems offer economy, design freedom, and almost universal availability.
  • Large-scale construction projects are becoming increasingly complex. This new level of complexity still requires meeting time or budget parameters—and careful planning to complete the project. Modular and precast concrete construction with traditional concrete is becoming a preferred alternative for large residential and commercial projects, including multi-residential structures, hospitals, schools, mid and high-rise structures, and rural and urban applications.
  • This Invention of modular construction techniques offers significant advantages in large-scale builds, including (1) Superior strength, which is a key value as the base concrete material is manufactured to bear greater loads. Uniquely designed exterior and interior wall structures, supporting columns, and crossbars reduce the need for deep foundations and added structural support. Buildings can be constructed with more levels while retaining safety and stability—significant in large-scale projects. In addition, concrete base materials require minimal maintenance vs. other construction materials; (2) Versatility relating to embedding utility, water, sewage, electrical, communication, and other services within internal columns and structures is a critical value in modular design and construction. Predesigned access to all structure systems allows rapid assembly during the construction phase and easy maintenance after project completion; (3) Superior durability, the use of precast modular concrete results in buildings that offer superior protection against the elements, including heavy rain and flooding. This is important for large-scale projects with extended life spans, reducing the need for extensive recurring maintenance. Under certain conditions, new modules can be efficiently and cost-effectively attached to an existing structure at a future date. Conversely, it is possible to disassemble an existing structure and reassemble it at a new location.
  • With current environmental sensitivity trends, large-scale buildings must be as energy efficient as possible to reduce recurring operational costs. The thermal efficiency of precast concrete provides a significant advantage over other materials. Aspects of this invention may incorporate a so-called “ECO-WALL” option which comprises various types of ecologically friendly and sustainable “fillers” in the core of the construction panel(s), specifically miscanthus-concrete block can provide a “green” option. This raw material comprises crushed, dried stems and leaves of the giant miscanthus plant. The use of the vegetable component integrates two modern trends—to create a concrete product that is a more environmentally friendly building material and to bind atmospheric carbon in the form of miscanthus biomass permanently. This makes it possible to practically nullify the carbon footprint of cement production for the concrete component of this wall and the entire structure.
  • Safety features, precast concrete is a superior construction choice to limit the impact of fire spread throughout a building and is a preferred material for constructing stairwells and interior structures in large buildings. Concrete will sustain minimal damage if a fire event does occur. Concrete's strength and uniform nature also provide a superior level of resistance to rust and chemical corrosion; Noise reduction may be achieved by aspects of the invention due to the density of the material and modular construction techniques. Precast modular concrete designs are ideal for sound walls and reducing noise's impact within a large structure. Precast concrete also allows WiFi network signals to transmit through the material, making it an ideal option for “smart building” technology.
  • The construction industry faces growing demands from various ecological, economic, skilled labor, and organizational pressure points. Building requirements must meet increased compliance and regulatory thresholds while maintaining sustainable building solutions. This Invention system is designed to provide improved cost efficiency, shorter and more controlled construction times, and enhanced construction quality and sustainability.
  • Modular concrete has the design flexibility to provide unique looks in residential and commercial projects for interior and exterior design options. Versatility is a key design component in modular concrete, offering attractive building solutions, including (1) sustainability. As modular design opportunities expand, upgradability, serviceability, and flexibility are only a few of its characteristics. Being able to adapt and improve existing structures with efficient technologies at less expense is a crucial driver for the architectural features both now and in the future; (2) Customization modular concrete designs do not lack originality but instead offer a broad pallet of unique exterior and interior design and layout options opportunities, which is why today designers recognize the limitless opportunities offered by modular precast concrete components. If needed the invention can integrate flexible and customizable architectural designs.
  • This invention can integrate flexible interior and exterior design opportunities and innovative technology and associated processes in one embodiment.

  • Referring now to FIGS. 1-8 of the drawings showing various embodiments of a building/construction magnetic panel 10/1 of the invention. FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 specifically illustrate connection between the magnetic panel 10 and an internal surface of the wall 15 of a building. The panel 10 typically consists of a base 12 having front 14 and inner 16 sides. Magnetic structures 18 are arranged on a surface on the inner side 16 or within a body 17 of the base.
  • In the embodiment of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the material of the base 25 utilizes a flexible plastic 28 having the rubber properties/qualities which is made utilizing a mixture of polymers 36 including vinyl with implemented the magnetic structures in the form of a nanoscale magnetic filler 38 with the energy density in the range between 2.0 and 9.0 J/m3. The plastic base 28 operates within a service temperature range between −60 and +85° C. Magnetic structures 18 utilized by the invention are capable of a magnetic interaction with external magnetic-receptive materials and are typically characterized by the energy density within the range between 2.0 and 18.9 J/m3. In some embodiments the front side 14 of the panel 10 can be provided with a decorative finishing having a predetermined ornament 30.
  • In the embodiment of FIG. 5 , wherein the base is manufactured using the flexible fabric 26 (such as a fibrous fabric, for example), the magnetic structures 18 are implemented by impregnating the fabric with acrylic latex. A magnetic powder 34 in the form of a dispersed nano-dimensional magnetic filler with the energy density in the range between 14.8 and 18.9 J/m3 can be introduced into the acrylic latex.
  • As illustrated in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 8A and 8B the panel is also formed with a rigid base 19 made of a glass 20 or a metal 21 or any combination thereof. The rigid base 19 can be also made of a pressed craft paper with a moisture resistant impregnation or any combination of the above. The magnetic structures 19 in the form of a nano-dimensional magnetic powder 34 with a characteristic of energy density within the range between 2.0 and 18.9 J/m3 are implemented into the inner side of the rigid base 19.
  • Furthermore, in the method of the invention the flexible base 25 produced from the flexible plastic 28 or flexible fabric 26 is attached to a sheet of the glass 20 or a metal plate 21 of appropriate size by means of an adhesive joint 32. The breaking force of the adhesive joint is selected to be at least twice higher than the magnetic attraction force of the flexible plastic 28 (vinyl for example) having magnetic structures, or twice higher of the magnetic attraction force of fibrous fabric with magnetic structures 18 in the form of the acrylate latex impregnated with dispersed nano-dimensional magnetic filler.
  • In the method of manufacturing of the construction magnetic panel 10 of the invention one or more magnetic structures 18 are secured within at least one front side 14 or the inner/side 16 of the base 12 by means of an adhesive 32, a glue for example (see FIGS. 7B and 8B).

  • The panel 10 for interior finishing and fixing to the surface of a building wall according to the method of the invention can also be manufactured as a base 25 made of a flexible plastic 28 with the magnetic structures 18 consisting of a nanoscale magnetic filler with an energy density within the range between 2.0 and 9.0 J/m3. In the alternative, the flexible base 25 can be produced from a flexible fabric 26 with the implemented the magnetic structures 18 consisting of a nano-dimensional magnetic powder 34 having the energy density within the range between 2.0 and 18.9 J/m3.
  • In one embodiment of the invention the front side 14 of the panel 10 is provided with an ornament 30 having decorative properties required by a customer. To assure the reliable fixation to the surface of the wall of the building, the ornament may include a coating made of magneto-susceptible materials, for example, a steel. Alternatively, elements of magneto-susceptible materials can be embedded into the wall surface.
  • The present invention provides a substantial number of advantages compared to the known prior art, for example simple installation and removal of the panel 10. This makes it possible to change rapidly the appearance of the exterior of the building wall and interior of the premises. Another important advantage of the invention is the absence of the requirement for the highly skilled labor used in the installation of the panels 10 and the need for a special equipment. Further advantage of the invention is producing the magnetic panels 10 from a variety of materials and coatings such as for example, paper-layered plastic, glass, metal, various fabric materials or any combination thereof. A possibility of arranging the magnetic panels in various combinations on one wall of a building is also very beneficial.
