A process for making a wall of a building structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current building wall structures face challenges with poor resistance to static and dynamic loads, inadequate heat and acoustic insulation, difficult plant integration, and high heat conductivity, particularly in drywall systems, which require invasive modifications and compromise insulation when plant installations are needed.
Innovation Solution
A support framework comprising pultruded section bars made of polymer resin with reinforcing fibers, which are lightweight, mechanically robust, and provide excellent insulation and sound damping, allowing for easy installation and integration of electrical and hydraulic plants without damaging the casing or reducing insulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If wet-wall structure with liquid concrete mixture is used, then structural strength and monolithic integrity are improved, but plant integration becomes problematic and requires invasive wall breaking
Solution Approach 1:
The wall structure is segmented into modular panels that can be independently accessed and modified. The framework is divided into discrete components (vertical posts, horizontal beams, panels) that allow targeted access for plant installation without compromising the entire wall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Chase blocks and chases are introduced as intermediary elements within the wall structure to accommodate plant conduits. These intermediaries provide dedicated pathways for electrical and hydraulic plants, eliminating the need for invasive wall breaking while maintaining structural integrity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If wet-wall structure is used, then heat and acoustic insulation are improved, but any modification creates discontinuities in insulation
Solution Approach 1:
The wall is divided into modular panels with standardized dimensions and insulation configurations. This segmentation allows insulation to be pre-installed within each panel module, ensuring continuous thermal and acoustic performance while enabling easy replacement or modification of individual panels without affecting adjacent sections.
Solution Approach 2:
Insulation materials are pre-installed within the wall panels during the manufacturing or assembly phase, before the wall is finalized. This preliminary action ensures that insulation continuity is maintained and that future modifications can be performed without creating thermal or acoustic bridges, as the insulation pathway is already established.
3Ease of operation
If drywall structure with multiple material layers is used, then plant integration is improved, but heat insulation becomes inadequate due to high heat conductivity
Solution Approach 1:
The wall panels utilize composite construction combining low-conductivity insulating materials (such as foam core or fiber insulation) with structural framing members. This composite approach provides both the plant access capabilities of drywall systems and the thermal insulation performance required, by integrating insulation layers within the panel assembly rather than relying on high-conductivity solid materials.
4Ease of manufacture
If drywall structure is used, then ease of assembly is improved, but mechanical strength is insufficient for heavy loads
Solution Approach 1:
The wall system is segmented into a load-bearing framework (vertical posts and horizontal beams) and non-structural panel infill. This segmentation allows the framework to handle heavy loads and structural requirements while the panels provide easy-to-assemble coverings that can be quickly installed and removed, combining the strength needs with assembly ease.
Solution Approach 2:
The structural framework and wall panels are merged into an integrated assembly system where the framework provides both structural support and mounting surfaces for panels. This merging allows the structure to bear heavy loads while maintaining the ease of assembly characteristic of drywall systems, as panels can be attached to and removed from the framework without complex operations.
