CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panel Research

August 11, 2022

CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panel undergoing 3rd-party testing for durability and performance

Since their introduction in 2004, CarbonCast High Performance Insulated Wall Panels and their components have undergone a three dozen third-party tests to verify their durability, insulating performance, composite action and more. The tests include:

  • Behavior of a 42-Foot CarbonCast EPS-Insulated Composite Wall Panel (North Carolina State University)
  • Age Effect on the Interface Bond of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Concrete for Precast Concrete Sandwich Wall Panels (North Carolina State University)
  • Direct Tensile Strength of Precast Concrete Sandwich Reinforced with CFRP Grid (North Carolina State University)
  • Evaluation of the Effect of Sustained Loading on C-GRID/Rigid Foam Insulation Shear Transfer Mechanism in Precast Concrete Sandwich Panels
  • CarbonCast Panels Tested in Accordance with ICC-ES AC422 (North Carolina State University)
  • Shear Transfer Mechanism of Concrete Sandwich Panels Connected by Neopor Foam and CFRP Grid (North Carolina State University)
  • ASTM E119-00a Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials (Omega Point Laboratories)
  • NFPA 285 Testing of a Concrete Wall Panel Assembly with XPS (InterTek)

Contact an AltusGroup member if you are interested in learning more about our testing program or the results of our tests.
