THE DIRECTOR OF THE EDUARDO TORROJA INSTITUTE OF CONSTRUCTION SCIENCES

In accordance with Degree nº 3.652/1963 of 26th December which authorises the Eduardo Torroja Institute of Construction Sciences to issue a TECHNICAL CONFORMITY DOCUMENT for a non-traditional construction materials, systems and processes used in building construction and public works; and in accordance with Directive no. 1.265, dated December 23, 1988 from the Department of Parliamentary Affairs and Government Office, which regulates its government franchise.

INTRODUCTION

The entry into force of the Technical Building Code, in Spain and the draft law which will establish different classifications of energy in buildings according to their energy consumption, similar to those for appliances, does justice at last and "rewards" to buildings more economical in terms of energy and emitting less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. With the above basic regulations on thermal insulation, sufficient to meet minimum requirements regarding of isolation and not been compensated for the efforts of technicians and developers by introducing enclosures with higher heat resistance. Fortunately for all this has changed and today is a concern of all reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and dramatically reduce the energy consumption of buildings. Click here to Download

INTRODUCTION

Baupanel system represents a very cost effective alternative applied to exterior walls of buildings, whether built with integrated system or as a supplement to an existing structure of reinforced concrete or other material such as rolled steel. Click here to Download

INTRODUCTION

The entry into force of the seismic regulations NCSE-2002 has focused attention on the issue of the impact of earthquakes on building structures. We can not forget that Spain is a country where every year many earthquakes occur, most minor nature and imperceptible to man. Sometimes the ground shakes, causing extensive damage especially in towns with old buildings that make us look with some concern if our buildings are ready to resist an earthquake of some importance.Click here to Download

INTRODUCTION

The entry into force of the Technical Construction Code in Spain introduced a new test for protection against moisture in the exterior walls of buildings, basement walls and roofing elements. The procedures such request is based on assigning a degree of waterproofing required at closing on issue of level of presence of water and soil permeability coefficient in the case of basement walls.

SIMPLE PANEL BPR/BPN

The BPR panel is designed as a vertical enclosure with load-bearing qualities, in order to use in buildings constructed entirely Baupanel system or in combination with forged beams, slabs reticular or armed slabs. It has a wavy soul expanded polystyrene which are attached to the mesh paths (one for each side), solidary them at 80 m2 galvanized connectors per m2 of panel. This feature allows you, once concreted, the panel behaves as a composite section. Click here to Download

STUDY OF THERMAL BRIDGES IN THE BAUPANEL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE CTE

The Baupanel system, between some of its advantages is the almost total absence of thermal bridges, impacting positively on increased energy savings, resulting from loss of energy nearly nonexistent in the process of cooling the building.Click here to Download

GENERAL QUESTIONS

The central core of the panel is made up of expanded polystyrene with a density of 15 kg/m3 - 25 kg/m3 that is cut in an undulated way to improve the adherence of the concrete when discharged. The mentioned EPS core is flanked with meshes of straight and/or corrugated steel, depending on the kind of panel, which are linked together by a series of connectors that go through the EPS core.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Baupanel system is compatible with any type of foundations, whether strip footings, slab on the ground or pile foundation. The type of foundations chosen,will depend largely on the load-bearing capacity of the ground and, secondly, the physical layout of the building. Click here to Download
