Non-combustible reinforced cementitious lightweight panels and metal frame system for a fire wall and other fire resistive assemblies

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A fire resistive assembly including metal framing members for example, C-, joists, U-joists, open web joists HAMBRO or other metal frame systems that support a reinforced, lightweight, dimensionally stable SCP panel. The assembly is non-combustible, water durable mold and rot resistant, termite , resistant and is capable of resisting shear loads equal to or exceeding shear loads provided by plywood or oriented strand board panels. The panels employ one or more layers of a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of inorganic binder, for example calcium sulfate alpha , hemihydrate, hydraulic cement an active pozzolan and lime. The continuous phase is reinforced …
