Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to constructing buildings, and more particularly, to a joint and method of connecting a sandwich panel to a building foundation.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

[0002] There is an increasing global demand for lower cost buildings such as houses, warehouses and office space. The demand for lower cost buildings is particularly strong in developing countries where economic resources may be limited and natural resources and raw materials may be scarce. For example, in areas of the Middle East or Africa, conventional building materials such as cement, brick, wood or steel may not be readily available or, if available, may be very expensive. In other areas of the world, poverty may make it too costly for people to build houses or other buildings with conventional materials.

[0003] The demand for lower cost housing also is high in areas afflicted by war or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornados, floods, and th...
