A cementitious shear panels reinforced with glass fibers, a light weight filler and at leat one reinforcing member

摘要

A structural cementitious panel (11) is disclosed. The panel (11) is able to resist lateral forces imposed by high wind and earthquake loads. These panels (11) may be used for shear walls, flooring or roofing or other locations where shear panels are used in residential or commercial construction. The panels (11) employ one or more layers (13) of a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of inorganic binder reinforced with glass fibres and containing lightweight filler particles. One or more reinforcement members (15, 16, 17), such as mesh or plate sheets, are bonded to at least one surface of the panel (11) to provide a completed panel that can breathe and has weather resistant characteristics to be capable of sustaining exposure to the elements during construction, without damage.
