Construction Material TRIZ Cases

A multi-layer brick uses resilient connecting means to acoustically decouple a rigid supporting shell from a lighter facing shell.

A lightweight fiber cement sheet replaces wood sub-floors and underlayment with a single waterproof layer.

A dual flange expansion joint seal integrates a watertight closure to maintain structural integrity across moving substrates.

A floor dowel sleeve uses break-away interior walls to accommodate horizontal movement of a dowel plate within a concrete slab seam.

Mid-range viscosity starch lowers water content in gypsum slurry, cutting drying energy and speeding manufacturing time.

Elastomer-modified bituminous bands dampen panel resonance at maximum displacement points to reduce acoustic transmission.

A profiled glass sheet incorporates a flexible fibrous polymer composite mat to resist heat transfer through its structural cavities.

Interlocking board projections engage recesses to form a tight composite element, eliminating complex dovetail joints and separate fixing pins.

High-filler acrylic barrier coating on gypsum panels resists water and air penetration while maintaining vapor permeance.

A polyester laminate adhered to a glass mat prevents rapid absorption of finishing compounds, eliminating voids and cracking while achieving a smooth surface.

A clay wall panel integrates prefabricated clay components into a flat wooden framework to provide structural stiffening.

Replacing urea formaldehyde resin with acrylate binders eliminates toxic emissions while maintaining fire resistance through char formation.

An offset core and truss assembly transfer loads to enable asymmetrical building designs beyond traditional central core constraints.

Five-hole rafter plate supports lifting and fall arrest while cross-bracing stabilizes the structure during shipping.

Periodically stacked polypropylene and concrete layers achieve impedance matching to enable broadband wireless signal transmission through walls.

Play-free connection between timber supports and steel reinforcement transmits shear forces while minimizing deflection under compressive loads.

Mechanical connecting piece secures insulated building block walls, resolving thermal bridge and strength trade-off.

A composite structural panel uses a wood core infused with potting material and reinforced fibre layers to create a robust load-bearing unit.

Standardized insulating elements fit frictionally into brick cavities, preventing material loss during cutting while maintaining low thermal conductivity.

A slotted joist seat structure uses a toe weld to couple joists to support members without aperture connections.

A support structure anchors to a floor slab near the parcel edge, allowing wall panels to be lifted and positioned from within the building footprint.

A plasterboard integrates a polymer-based lamina to enhance screw retention and structural integrity.

Bent side edge configurations on wall modules secure linking elements through geometric locking features, preventing water leakage during assembly.

Interlocking panel flange projections and grooves resist lateral separation forces, eliminating heavy clamping requirements while ensuring weld consistency.

Cast concrete retaining wall block features integral inner walls with offset male and female connectors to interlock blocks in straight or shifted patterns.
