limited colour range of brick or other systems. Constructed from CarbonCast highperformance insulated wall panels, Georgia State University’s 2,000-bed four-building student housing complex is the largest privately funded university housing complex in the nation. The aesthetically pleasing wall panels greatly reduce mildew risk because concrete inhibits water penetration. In addition, using the precast wall panels eliminated the drywall, eradicating any potential food source for mildew and mould. The panels deliver R-12, attained by 101.6 mm of expanded polystyrene sandwiched between two 63.5 mm thick concrete wythes. The inner and outer wythes were connected using thermal-efficient C-GRID carbon fibre trusses. Compared with the original design, the increased R-value enabled the university to save $700,000 in HVAC costs. And cost savings will only increase over time as the annual utility and maintenance costs will be significantly less. The new Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Ind., will feature an insulated, brick-inlay architectural facade with CarbonCast highperformance insulated wall panels. The project will require over 37160 m2 of limestone-finished architectural precast featuring blasted accents and embedded brick. With C-GRID shear grid reinforcement connecting the 76 mm wide interior and exterior concrete wythes, the panels will maximize energy efficiency and reduce the possibility of condensation and mould. As the system’s rapid installation does not compromise its clean lines and exacting detail, construction time and cost savings are anticipated. Additionally, the prestressed panels allow longer spans – another costsaving aspect of the system. Conclusion The construction industry has quickly been learning what other markets have known for years: carbon fibre is a material that can impart numerous benefits to end-products. The use of carbon fibre reinforcing in precast concrete signals a shift toward its use in new construction after years of success in rehabilitation applications. And considering a new focus on energy efficiency, the insulation benefits of carbon fibre reinforced precast is more attractive than ever. Each new structure stands as a testament to carbon fibre’s viability as a reinforcing material. With about 1 million m2 of carbon fibre reinforced precast erected or in development just over four years after the technology’s introduction, it is evident that architects and engineers are quickly embracing the numerous benefits that this technology can deliver.
