ABSTRACT:
In the Fibrestone Building Construction a thin fiber reinforced wall formed of sprayed concrete and short lengths of fibers, such as glass fibers, forms the outer shell of the wall exposed to atmosphere. An inner load supporting structure is secured to the inner surface of the outer shell. This load supporting structure consists for example of a metal frame aligned with the inner surface of the shell, and spaced metal studs. A differential of temperature exists between the outer surface of the fiber reinforced shell subjected to atmospheric temperatures and the inner load supporting structure because the inner members are shielded from atmospheric temperatures by the outer shell. The outer and inner members of the wall being formed of different materials have different coefficients of expansion when subjected to varying temperatures. Therefore, if the outer and inner members are directly connected by metallic connectors, welded or otherwise secured, the connectors will be subjected to severe loading which will eventually break the connectors loose from one of the members. These difficulties can be overcome by employing a plurality of flex tie connectors having one end bonded to the inner surface of the outer shell and the other end connected to the metallic studs or to the frame, preferably at two spaced points remotely spaced from the inner surface of the outer shell.
