A Revolution in Building Materials May Have Started in Composites, but Not FRP

摘要

The commercial success of a new modular building system heralds what may turn out to be a revolution in the building industry. Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA (Leep) is now producing its LeepCore~(TM) building panel in enough volume to supply current commercial customers. The early sales successes are expected to help the company's efforts to attract financing for a large scale fully automated production facility. The LeepCore building concept uses one element - a two foot wide steel/foam composite panel - to build walls, floors, and roofs.
