Can you please explain to me how the inner and outer layers of the panel are connected to each other, other than embedding the bonds of the inner layer into the concrete of the outer layer?
To answer the critics below, this is a wonderful product, an engineer's dream. It is solid, it will withstand any kind of weather, earthquake, or other things that might damage a building, like termites and rot that plagues all wood products. This does not have Styrofoam, which shrinks 15% in ten years and outgases. Any kind of insulation can be blown in the middle, it doesn't matter, because it is not structural. The interior crete will act as a heat sink to maintain the ambient. this is the perfect thickness, material science students understand this. This has shear strength, plenty of uplift strength in high wind areas, and the only thing I would prefer to see is a better curing process for the concrete. The crete should be sprayed and perhaps humidified to achieve maximum design strength. I did not understand the vibration, looked like too much to me. We use a two second rule with vibrators, any more and the OPC would be separated too much. To answer the questions about cost, I would counter that if they got into solid production runs, they could build walls in high volume with little labor, so compared to anything that might be as solid, I would think this would be cheaper. With all that steel, this is obviously some industrial use building. A residential application would need much less reinforcing steel. I would use this product on any structure, well done!

@@jhongolt5110 This is a matrix of steel and concrete. concrete is excellent in compression, steel excellent in tension. The engineer designed vertical and horizontal steel in both inner and outer, the thickness is ideal for some minor flexing that might come from expansion and contraction due to ambient conditions, but it might have been invented to solve the earthquake phenomenon. The concrete is a great heat sink, but there are two temperatures, inner and outer that need to be considered. A heat sink is good for distributing the heat and holding it, so best to have the insulation on the outside. This has the insulation as an air space, or the inner space might be foamed. That is a heat break. Energy is transferred by one of three means; radiation, convection, and conduction. This is acceptable, the heat or cold will be stored in the inner side, the empty or foamed space will keep it separate from the outer. The design strength is best described as a 3D truss, it will act in a monolithic way since the concrete is so thick. This might actually be stronger than a solid concrete wall. It covers all the loads on a typical wall, including shear and uplift. To explain the engineering, have to teach you material science, vectors, and load designs, then spend months in the testing labs to show how things work in real life, starting with making beams from aluminum foil and trusses from string. We use computers to do the calculations, looks really well engineered to me.
@@robertcarver4295 My question was not about the advantages of this type of panels, but about the way the layers are connected, because. in panels with insulation, the layers are connected by passing longitudinal rods through the eyelets of the screeds connecting both layers, and here the screeds are simply recessed into the concrete of the upper layer. I have no doubt about the rationality of this type of panels, if you suddenly think about it.
Not enough 1 inch thick hyper-strenght bainitic galvanized steel rebars going horizontally and vertically and spaced apart by 2 inches and held by double-U shaped mechanical bolting clamps with some adjustments made for pipes of various sizes and should have used the double-shell reinforcement design with internal steel trusses clamped-bolted together and tack welded secured. The concrete and-or mortar cover should be 2 centimeters to 2.5 centimeters thick depending on concrete formulations and environmental conditions.
or easier: just gunnit concrete against the poly covered with metal mesh, this method already exist and works very good, it´s easy, cheap, and no need to invest in heavy machinery
