ABSTRACT:
A structural tie shear connector utilized in a concrete and insulation sandwich wall panel having first and second wythes and an insulation layer interposed therebetween. The connector includes first and second horizontal strands of thermally non-conductive material which are adapted to be encased by the respective wythes. A transverse web of thermally non-conductive material interconnects the first and second strands through the insulation layer. The web includes strands formed into a lattice structure. At least one of the strands of the lattice extends at an angle with respect to one of the first and second strands so as to be in tension when a load is applied to the wall panel. The connector resembles a bow tie. The method of making sandwich wall panels disclosed herein includes pouring the first layer of concrete into a form; laying a plurality of insulation strips adjacent each other to define at least one gap therebetween; providing a bow tie shear connector having a chairing loop portion thereon; while the first layer of concrete is still plastic, inserting the connector through the gap and into the first layer of concrete such that the chairing loop portion rests on the bottom of the form; and pouring a second layer of wet concrete onto the insulation strips in the form. The chairing loop positively locates the connector with respect to the form, the concrete layers and the insulation layer without being affixed to the insulation.
