A UHPC, an exceptional material FCLAD® CLADDING PANEL


A - UHPC, an exceptional materialUltra high performance fibre-reinforced concrete is an exceptional construction material which possesses a combination of technical and aesthetic qualities which are not generally found in concrete.

no framework required resistance 10 x greater than that of traditional concrete in terms of compression / traction (180 Mpa/25Mpa) extremely high resistance to abrasion and explosionsinsensitivity to rust, aggressive environments, frost/thaws and UV

It offers outstanding freedom in terms of shape and texture both in architecture and design as well as a particularly wide range of colours.

The qualities of fibre-reinforced concrete go h and in hand with the new architectural trends: pure lines, fineness, emphasis on textures and mineral aspect.The lack of passive frameworks makes it easier to create complex shapes with relatively thin items.Thanks to its mineral aspect, its ability to reproduce textures faithfully and the wide range of available colours, ultra high performance fibre-reinforced concrete has become the creative concrete par excellence.

B- The FClad® Cladding panel

Résistance Resistance against fire (M0), impacts, adverse weather (frost/thaws) and abrasion. An asset in terms of the life span of buildings.Fire resistance : FClad® Cladding panel, offers excellent performances as far as fire is concerned (classified A2-s1,d0) and does not require any additional treatment or chemical coating toprotect against fire. These panels may therefore be used for all types of building governed by particular legislation such as public buildings or high-rise buildings.Shock resistance : the panels are highly resistant against shocks and abrasion. They may therefore be used just as effectively on ground floors as on higher floors in contrast to many other types of panel which do not offer adequate shock resistance for use on ground floors.Mechanical performances : the panels offer a high level of resistance against compression and traction as well as excellent tear resistance.

DurabilityThe technical proprieties of the FClad® Cladding panel, remain unchanged for a period of 50 years keeping the mechanical resistance and security of the panels intact.Low maintenance requirements & easy upkeep :Depending on the location of the building and the associated constraints in terms of pollution, dirt, etc.., it is recommended that the panels are cleaned every 2 to 5 years by a specialised firm. The replacement of damaged panels is a very simple procedure.

Industrial manufacturing qualityThe industrial manufacturing of the panels guarantees resistance and facing quality.

Aesthetic & CustomisationA wide range of colours and patterns are available. The lack of passive frameworks makes it easier to create complex shapes with relatively thin items. Numerous variations in design (colours, texturesand shapes) are possible whilst maintaining a mineral aspect and the authenticity of a concrete coating.The colour is treated by incorporating pigments directly in the mixture; a wide range of colours is available.

The textures obtained are exact patterns of what is underneath : the surface finish copies that of the mould thanks to the self-compacting behaviour of the material and the fineness of the grain.

A mineral coating creating a light facadeThanks to its thinness, the FClad® Cladding panel, a lightweight envelope is possible.

For new builds and renovation

Seismic zone (category 4 and 1 and 2)

FClad® Cladding panel, is a cladding system consisting of Ultra-High PerformanceFibre-Reinforced Concrete implemented via clip feet on a grid of horizontal aluminium rails.These rails are attached to a vertical frame of aluminium profiles, themselves joined onto theload-bearing structure by adjustable bracket feet.The clip-on brackets are attached to the panel using Keil inserts.The system can be implemented with or without insulation. A ventilated air space is systematically-formed in the back part of the panel to eliminate condensation effects and expel moisture.They can therefore be easily integrated in an external thermal insulation system (ETI) as an effectiveresponse to the new heat regulations.

The installation of ETI under mounted cladding involves creating an insulating envelopearound the building; this fulfils the following functions :

visual appearance of the building;thermal and phonic insulation;shock resistance, particularly on the ground floor;imperviousness to air and water;transferral of load from the exterior to the structure.

A life cycle analysis has been carried out on 3 types of cladding panel :A. Ultra High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPC)B. High Pressure Laminates (HPL)C. Aluminium

Life cycle analysis (LCA)The life cycle analysis was carried out on the cladding panel alone without taking the insulation and structure into account. The results are expressed by m² of panel. The study was conducted on an 8 storey reference building (the three solutions were intended to attain the same thermal performances).

3. Sustainable development

The Building Environment Quality study (BEQ) reveals that concrete products offer the best solution in terms of combining environmental performance, comfort, resistance and construction costs.

Fibre-reinforced concrete products are « eco-efficient » materials which take into account the environmental performance of the overall structure throughout its entire life cycle.

This solution is particularly relevant taking into account the ease of implementation of FClad® Cladding panel. By using items which have been prefabricated in a factory and assembled on site involving a limited number of operations, work on site is rationalised significantly, resulting not only in an improvement in the direct environmental impact but also the enhancement of the construction quality.

Thanks to the properties of the FClad® Cladding panel, greenhouse gas emissions and waterconsumption are extremely low.

The FClad® Cladding panel is the only mineral material product which can be used to create large, textured panels with M0 fire resistance (French legislation).

WATER CONSUMPTIONUHPC Cladding panels consume 6 times less water than HPL solutions and 3 times less than aluminium solutions.

PRODUCTION OF WASTEThe indicator is more favourable for the aluminium solution, thanks mainly to its reduced weight (the recycling rates are comparable). The HPL solution generates a large amount of waste, mainly in the production phase.

Comparison of environmental impacts

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGreenhouse gas emissions are very limited for UHPC Cladding panels com-pared to those of HPL and Aluminium solutions (2 to 3 times lower.)

5. Customisable appearance

Colours

The surface finish is an exact copy of that of the mould.The self-compacting behaviour of the material and the fineness of the grain mean that the texture incorporatedin the mould can be reproduced with extreme precision.

The colour is treated by incorporating pigments directly in the mixture. The resistance of colours to UV and adverse weather is therefore guaranteed.Each color is homogenized with a tinted lasure.

Standard colours

Textures

A wide range of colours and textures are available whilst maintaining the mineral aspect of the concrete.The FClad® Cladding panel, is mass-coloured : the required colour is injected directly during the manufacturing process. The colour forms an integral part of the product, which is what gives it a particularly natural appearance.The colours are resistant against light, UV and adverse weather conditions.Fibre-reinforced concrete is a natural, living product: its mineral grain is «imperfect» and its surface is not completely homogeneous.

Variations in colour may be observed depending on the intrinsic colour of the cement used. It is therefore recommended that single orders are placed for the total number of panels required for a structure in order to guarantee uniformity in the colour. In addition, any changes in colour are due to differences in temperature and moisture in the air. Fibre-reinforced concrete absorbs moisture and releases it: for this reason a given panel can dry at different speeds.

General assembly principles

Layout must be planned beforehand. There is no particular direction of assembly, the panels can be assembled either horizontally or vertically.Assembly operations are done either from a scaffold, a rack-and-pinion platform, or a scissor lift.

For large panels the procurement and assembly are to be done by lifting beam with suction pad.Assembly is done from the bottom upwards in successive horizontal rows, starting either from the right or the left.

2. Tracing, marking and perforating the wall

3. Assembly of vertical framework on the wall using foot bracketsInstallation of the metal framework in accordance with the stipulations of the CSTB 3194 specifications and amendment 3586-V2.The coplanarity of the uprights must be checked between adjacent uprights with a maximum allowable separation of 2 mm.The allowable resistance of the foot under vertical loads that must be considered is the resistance equivalent to a distortion under loadequal to 1 mm.The maximum centre distance of the frames is 600 mm. Along the uprights, the separation between the bracket feet is determinedaccording to the exposure conditions (areas and sites defined in the amended NV 65 regulations) and the height of the structure.The maximum distance between the brackets is 1.35 m.The bracket feet are attached interchangeably on either side of the upright.

4. Assembling the insulationThe ACERMI certified insulation is implemented in accordance with the stipulations of these documents :For installation on metal frames: « Règles générales de conception et de mise en oeuvre de l’ossature métallique et de l’isolationthermique des bardages rapportés faisant l’objet d’un Avis Technique » (CSTB 3194 specifications and amendment 3586-V2).

5. Assembling the horizontal railsA level line is formed from the zero point. The first rail is attached to the primary frame with two self-perforating screws made of A2Ø5.5*25 stainless steel of Etanco PERFIX 3 TH8/A2 Ø5.5 x 25 Stainless Steel type (cf. §3.3).Other screws with identical dimensions and equal or superior mechani-cal characteristics may be used.The other rails are then attached, observing the centre distance of the panel clips.The finger jointing of the rails is done on one of the vertical uprights, the width of which must not be less than 80mm in accordance with the CSTB 3194 specifications.The cantilever of the rails after the last upright is 250mm maximum.

The length of the uprights is limited to one storey height and the latter are subdivided plumb with each board of the structure.Each upright, the length of which is limited to one storey height, is attached to an assembly composed of two ISOLALU LR150 brackets from Etanco Ltd, made of 6060T5 aluminium and 3mm thick, assembled in pairs and in opposition. The minimum length of these brackets is 80mm and the maximum length is 200 mm.These assemblies have a maximum spacing of 1 m.The aluminium profiles are attached via the aluminium brackets by two self-perforating screws made of A2 Ø6*29 stainless steel of SFS Intec SX5-S(16)-5.5*33 type, with a characteristic tear strength Pk of 3870N in an aluminium support 3mm thick.

Secondary frameThe centre distance of the inserts is 600mm maximum and the distance between the panel edge and the attachment is 200mm.The attachments and their implementation are as described previously in this file.

The panels have the following characteristics :Thickness : 16 mm ±2mmIn horizontal assembly, the maximum formats are : 770 mm*3600 mm 1200 mm*2300 mm h * L ≤ 2.8 with h≤1200 mm and L≤3600 mmIn vertical assembly, the maximum formats are: 1200 mm*3000 mmNominal basis weight : 37.6 kg/m2This does not concern angle panels.

FClad® Cladding panelThe panels have the following characteristics :Thickness : 16mm ±2 mmIn horizontal assembly, the maximum formats are : 770 mm*3600 mm 1200 mm*2300 mm h * L ≤ 2.8 with h≤1200mm and L≤3600mmIn vertical assembly, the maximum formats are : 1200 mm*3000 mmNominal basis weight : 37.6 kg/m2This does not concern angle panels.

Assembling FClad® Cladding panel with UHPCAssembly is identical to that of the sheets currently in use. However, in order to avoid horizontal and/or vertical movement of the panels, at least one third of the clips must be locked in place using a self-perforating screw made of A2 Ø 5.5*25 stainless steel of Etanco PERFIX 3 TH8/ A2 Ø5.5 x 25 Stainless steel type, with a characteristic tear strength Pk of 4300N in an aluminium support 3mm thick.Other screws with identical dimensions and equal or superior mechanical characteristics may be used.

Assembling on MOBAssembly is similar to that described previously in this document.The lag screws must withstand the stresses given in Table A when they are directly attached to the base.Example of a lag screw that withstands the stresses of the panel : · IG-T-6*L lag screw from SFS Intec Ltd.

F Handling and maintenanceFCLAD® CLADDING PANEL


Loading and unloading FClad® Cladding panels

The panels must be handled using clean gloves.The FClad® Cladding panels are to be handled using suction pads (lifting beams with suction padsor manual suction pads).

FClad® Cladding panel, should be transported flat. The panelsare strapped together and the edges are protected to guarantee security.

The following rules must be respected during unloading : unload using a fork-lift truck and/or crane forks must be at least 2,300 mm apart, 4 forks are required- unloading cross-piece for the crane

Handling the panels : appropriate equipment

respect the loading distancesprevent the pallets from oscillating during handlingtake the pallets one by onedo not place the pallets on top of each other

Storing the FClad® Cladding panels

FClad® Cladding panel should be stored flat in a dry area. Do not place the pallets on top of each other The panels must not be placed on their edges or corners without suitable protection (firm polystyrene for example).

FClad® Cladding panel must be stored in areas which are protected against adverse weather and UV and covered with an appropriate tarpaulin which is to be removed just before assembly.

Handling FClad® Cladding panels

Lift the FClad® Cladding panel and turn them over carefully. Do not pull them (they must not rub against one another).

Position them vertically on their edge ensuring that suitable protection has been provided (polystyrene or carpet).

Make sure that the corners are protected when rotating the panels.

In the case of manual transport, the panels should be handled vertically using clean gloves. Never handle the panels horizontally as they could split. Avoid bending and oscillation as this could cause the panels to break.

Preparation of the working environment

Work on a dry surface at the correct height with protection in case of rain.Only mark out the sections on the areas to be cut.

Drilling :Clean the panel carefully: use a vacuum cleaner to remove alldust and a compressor to blow off all waste.

Caution: the drilling dust must be completely removedimmediately so that it does not damage the panel.

CuttingFClad® Cladding panels are delivered to the site pre-drilled and cut to the required shape.If the panels are to be cut, please follow the instructions below. The FEHR Architectural team remainsat your disposal should you have any questions.

Cutting the FClad® panelStationary cutting : dampParticularly suitable for complex cuts (oblique, rounded), water jet cutting is accurate and simple.Make sure that each panel is cleaned thoroughly with water after cut-ting and dried properly. The panels must never be piled on top of one another or kept in a damp place as this could damage their quality.

Cutting on site : dryUse a circular saw with a guide rail (for example FEST-TOOL TS 55 EBQ-Plus-FS) and a splinter protection system.Make sure that the visible part of the panel is facing upwards.Use a diamond saw blade for a manual circular saw (e.g. Focus «Profi Turbo» or equivalent, Ø150 mm, perforation diameter 22.5 mm, com-pensating ring over 20 mm).Cutting data: speed of approximately 6,500 1/min for Ø150 mm, advancing approximately 2-3 m/min, cutting speed of approximately 50-60 m/s. Use a commercial jigsaw with a diamond plated saw blade for cuts.

NB : the drilling dust must be completely removed immediately so that it does not damage the panel.

DrillingThrough-holesUse a stone bit, for example Bosch „Blue Granite“ Ø 8mm, l = 120 mm or equivalent) or a special bit (for example from Hufschmid Ltd) of Ø 8 mm.Never use a hammer drill.

NB : the visible part of the panel must be facing upwards.Before doing the marking, put adhesive tape on the drilling point and makethe mark on the adhesive tape (in order to avoid any hard-to-remove marks on the panel)

Drilling for expansion anchoringIn the case of re-drilling on site : use equipment and items supplied by the company Keil (bits, templates, expansion plugs and screws).Respect the manufacturer’s instructions :- insertion depth: 10 mm.- the panels must be turned so that the visible side is facing downwards- Make sure that a carpet or other wedge is used to protect the panel and the work table.

NB : the drilling dust must be completely removed immediately so that it does not damage the panel. Use a compressor to clean the plate around the drill and to blow away any remaining cutting and drilling dust.


Attachment with expansion anchoringRecommendations :A special drill should be used for expansion anchoring for redrilling on site, with expansion plugs Hs = 8.5 mm screws (length according to clip), gauge for inspecting the hole, compressor, torque wrench.All the parts and equipment must be part of the same system and must be compatible (company Keil, www.keil.eu).The screw should be tightened with a torque of 2.50 to 4.00 Nm.

NB : excessively long screws would extend beyond the hole towards the front of the panel. If necessary, place a soft rubber wedgebetween the panels and the clip, following the frame, and adjust the panels with adjustment screws.Attach one clip per panel on the supporting rail to create a fixed point.

Resumption of possible aesthetic defects on site The majority of the possible aesthetic defects can be resumpted on site (detachment staining, cracking, position of the inserts ...).

Cleaning the FClad® Cladding panelsDepending on the location of the building and constraints relating to pollution and dirt in particular, the panels should be cleaned every 2 to 5 years by a specialised firm. A damaged panel may be replaced.Several surface treatments may be applied using protective products which are compatible with the material :

• Damp-proofing: protection against efflorescence and dirt.• Anti-graffiti : areas accessible to the public.• Lacquer : customisation of the colour and shine.

Do not use chemicals The panels must be cleaned with water usinga microfibre cloth.

Do not use high-pressure cleanersPanels should never be stacked or stored wet, as this may affect their quality.
