Author(s) : ACKERMANN J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES A TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION COMMON IN SOUTH AFRICA IN WHICH GRP (GLASS RE-INFORCED PLASTIC) PANELS ARE BONDED TO INSULATION SLABS. SUCH CONSTRUCTION CAN BE STRENGTHENED BY THE ADDITION OF GRP CONNECTING ELEMENTS AT SLAB JOINTS, AND WOODEN BEAMS AND PLYWOOD SHEETS FOR REINFORCEMENT IN FLOORS. HOWEVER A CONSEQUENCE OF THE STANDARD EXPORT PALLET DIMENSIONS AND A MAXIMUM OF 2,5 M STATUTORY OVERALL VEHICLE WIDTH LEADS TO A COMPLICATED OVERALL ECONOMIC BALANCE IN WHICH ONLY 100 MM IS LEFT FOR SIDE PANEL INSULATION AND PALLET CLEARANCE. SOME HEAT LEAKAGE EXAMPLES ARE GIVEN. D.W.H.
