Abstract

Lightweight construction panels, such as plasterboard, (e.g. gypsum plasterboard) are commonly used to provide internal partitions in buildings. Due to the use of plasterboard as in internal partition, it is desirable for plasterboard to absorb and block sound energy, such that sound from one room is not easily heard in an adjacent room. It has been found that providing micro cracks in the gypsum matrix of a gypsum-based panel improves the acoustic characteristics of the panel. Apparatus (300) is provided for cracking a gypsum matrix of a gypsum-based panel (10), the apparatus (300) comprising: a roller assembly (320), the roller assembly (320) configured to receive the panel (10) at an entrance of the roller assembly (320) and convey the panel (10) from the entrance to an exit of the roller assembly (320), wherein, between the entrance and the exit, the roller assembly (320) is configured to bend the panel (10) in a first direction.

Abstract

A computer implemented method for in-line, real-time monitoring of the time-temperature profile of a continuously produced gypsum board in a gypsum board manufacturing line. The method takes as input the signals of a series of infrared sensors placed at given distances along the gypsum board manufacturing line between the moulding stage and the cutting stage of the gypsum board manufacturing line, and further takes as input the speed of the continuously produced gypsum board on the gypsum board manufacturing line. The method provides as output a corrected time-temperature profile of the continuously produced gypsum board. The method includes converting the signals of the series of infrared sensors into a time-temperature profile based on the speed of the continuously produced gypsum board on the gypsum board manufacturing line; processing the time-temperature profile through a correlation model and/or a physical model P-M to calculate a corrected time-temperature profile.

Abstract

Lightweight construction panels, such as plasterboard, (e.g. gypsum plasterboard) are commonly used to provide internal partitions in buildings. Due to the use of plasterboard as in internal partition, it is desirable for plasterboard to absorb and block sound energy, such that sound from one room is not easily heard in an adjacent room. It has been found that providing micro cracks in the gypsum matrix of a gypsum-based panel improves the acoustic characteristics of the panel. Apparatus (300) is provided for cracking a gypsum matrix of a gypsum-based panel (10), the apparatus (300) comprising: a roller assembly (320), the roller assembly (320) configured to receive the panel (10) at an entrance of the roller assembly (320) and convey the panel (10) from the entrance to an exit of the roller assembly (320), wherein, between the entrance and the exit, the roller assembly (320) is configured to bend the panel (10) in a first direction.

Abstract

A structural component (100) for supporting construction panels is disclosed comprising an I-shaped strip having two parallel strips (P1. P2) and at least one strip (S1) perpendicular to (P1) and (P2). One or both the parallel strips (P1. P2) contain a plurality of substantially flat portions (110) and void portions (120) which alternate in a first direction X along the structural component (100). The flat portions (110) are configured to support the construction panel in plane contact while the void portions (120) are configured to support the construction panels in line contact. The void portions (120) reduce the thermal transmission of the structural component (100) by providing reduced thermal bridges in the transmission path of heat and reducing the contact surface area with adjoining adjacent materials. The structural component (100) described is a drywall stud or a spacer separating two parallelly bonded construction panels.

Abstract

The modular facade is made of prefab panels comprising a frame structure with horizontal and vertical profiles. The prefab panel includes an outer cladding attached to the frame structure by attaching means. The horizontal and the vertical profiles have a matching shiplap design. A method of mounting the modular facade relies upon the steps of installing brackets to a building structure, for levelling position of the prefab panels, and an anti-tipping element in an upper part of the building structure, so that not very demanding lifting means, such as a small crane, suffices, for suspending subsequent adjacent prefab panels from an upper story.

Abstract

A connector (10) to be used for a lightweight construction element (100) is disclosed. The connector (10) is such that it has a first and second pair of angular arms (1a) and (1b) forming angles (Z) and (Z') respectively and meeting at a first and a second point of intersections (P) and (P'). The first and second pair of angular arms (1a) and (1b) are either oriented parallel to each other or are perpendicularly oriented to each other and helps couple a first and a second flange member (130), (140), which again can be oriented parallel or perpendicular to each other. The connector (10) is placed at distance from each other and acts as a replacement for the conventional web in framing structures. The plurality of connectors (10) thus eliminate the need of a full-length web, which results in reduction of metal usage and thus in turn reduced CO2 emission.
