Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If wet-wall structures are used to achieve monolithic and compact wall construction, then structural strength is improved, but heat and acoustic insulation deteriorate and plant integration becomes problematic

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidheat and acoustic insulation

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The wall structure uses a composite construction combining a concrete core (for structural strength) with insulating material layers (for thermal and acoustic insulation). This multi-layer composite approach allows simultaneous achievement of mechanical strength and insulation performance without requiring the entire wall to be monolithic concrete.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If wet-wall structures are used to achieve monolithic construction, then structural integrity is improved, but adaptability for plant integration deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidplant integration

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The wall is segmented into distinct functional layers: a concrete structural core and separate insulating material layers. This segmentation allows the structural portion to maintain integrity while the insulating layers can be modified to accommodate plant integration needs without compromising the concrete structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the wall structure have different properties: the concrete core provides structural integrity while the insulating material layers provide thermal/acoustic insulation and accommodate plant integration. This local differentiation of material properties allows simultaneous satisfaction of conflicting requirements in different wall regions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If drywall structures with multiple material layers are used to achieve ease of installation and plant integration, then adaptability is improved, but structural strength and resistance to loads deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of installation and plant integrationVSAvoidresistance to static and dynamic loads

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The structure combines concrete (providing structural strength and load resistance) with insulating material layers (providing ease of installation and adaptability). The concrete core serves as the structural backbone while the attached insulating layers provide the needed adaptability for installation and plant integration.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

4Productivity

If drywall structures are used to achieve ease of installation, then installation speed is improved, but heat insulation performance deteriorates due to high heat conductivity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidheat insulation performance

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The wall assembly combines concrete elements with dedicated insulating material layers. The insulating materials have low thermal conductivity and are attached to the concrete structure, creating a composite wall that maintains structural integrity while providing effective thermal insulation and enabling rapid installation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials
