Multistory Ferrocement High-rise
We've developed a new panelized structural method for multistory construction
Published 2011-09-20
The am-cor Hybrid Highrise structural method combines a prefabricated steel framework with the am-cor Ferrocement System, in order to create high-rise buildings out of Ferrocement.
2 construction systems:
- panelized Ferrocement walls, roofs, and floors
- modular steel main frame
Construction sequence
- The steel frames are erected, creating beams and columns at each floor level
- am-cor Ferrocement panels are integrated with the steel frame substrate, creating a unibody hybrid structure
Result
This combinations results in a structure that is quickly built, from the inside out: perfect for tight or space restricted building sites. Fire resistant Ferrocement panels protect the steel frame from both flame and weather. The exterior appearance is normally of textured tinted cement, the same as concrete and/or rendered masonry; however, metal, tile, stone, or masonry veneers can be added to the panel fronts to achieve any desired design.Please contact us for more information.
