How do we have to put the rebars joining the walls to the foundations?
For the double panel (PDME), rebars are stirrup-bent and placed with a variable space according to the structural calculation. The panel is put in place so that the rebars are inserted in the internal space of the panel which was designed for the wall and then they are included in the concrete. The rebars will be placed both as a connection between the panel and the foundations, and at all the levels, anchored to the riddles placed on the walls of the previous level, to ensure structural continuity. For the single bearing panel (PSME) the rebars are put in place in two lines, in alternate positions, with a distance of 30/40 cm. The panel must be placed so that it’s between two lines of irons, which will be then tied up with the external nets of the panels and then including in the shot-crete. Even in this case the rebars are necessary for anchoring the panels to the foundations and at any level, in order to better connect the walls of every floor with the walls of the previous floor.
