HIGH PERFORMANCE, REINFORCED INSULATED PRECAST CONCRETE AND TILT-UP CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME
First Claim
1. A product comprising:
- a foam insulating panel, the panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the foam insulating panel defines at least one recessed channel in the first primary surface, the at least one recessed channel being sized and shaped to provide a mold for a structural reinforcing member;
a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface and filling the at least one recessed channel so as to provide a structural reinforcing member for the concrete panel; and
an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel.

Abstract
The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a foam insulating panel, the panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the foam insulating panel defines at least one recessed channel in the first primary surface, the at least one recessed channel being sized and shaped to provide a mold for a structural reinforcing member. The product also comprises a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface and filling the at least one recessed channel so as to provide a structural reinforcing member for the concrete panel. The product further comprises an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel. A method of making a composite reinforced insulated concrete structure is also disclosed.

12. A product comprising:
-
a concrete panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface and having at least two parallel reinforcing columns, beams or rib on the first primary surface that at least partially define a cavity therebetween; a layer of foam insulating material having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the second primary surface of the foam insulating material contacts the at least two parallel reinforcing columns, beams or rib and fills the cavity therebetween; and a layer of reinforcing material disposed on the first primary surface of the layer of foam insulating material. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
