ABSTRACT:
Tilt-wall concrete panels adapted for constructing small buildings with "finished" interiors, especially single-family residences, etc. A peripheral frame of wooden members is laid on top of a barrier film of plastic (e.g., 4 mil polyethylene) on a horizontal surface. Wood-like studs are then placed within the frame and nailed thereto. Any desired utility cables and service pipes are positioned within the frame. An insulating foam cover, preferably high-density polyurethane, is then generated within and over the frame, to a depth that at least covers the wood-like studs and any utility or service lines. Foam about 1.5 inches thick will cover these elements and bond them securely together as a stable, easily movable "plate"--after the foam plastic has hardened. A plurality of such plates, each sized to form a part of a building's wall, are positioned at a construction site where a foundation has been prepared; a concrete form is then temporarily completed around each plate, and concrete is poured on top thereof, to an average depth of about 4 to 6 inches. After the concrete hardens, the temporary form is removed and the composite panel is tilted to a vertical position. A plurality of such panels are positioned edge-to-edge and joined to form a continuous outer wall for the building. The plastic barrier film is removed from the face of each panel, and interior wallboards or the like may be nailed to the exposed wood-like studs.
