2.0 PRODUCT USE
The Tongue and Groove (T-G) and Ship-Lap (S-L) panels are insulated structural composites that are used to construct walls, floors and roofs in Type V construction. Walls may be either load bearing or non-load bearing. This panelized system is available for both residential and commercial application. Rack and shear values, which are outside the scope of this report, can be obtained through the normal bracing used in construction. The panels comply with IBC Section K107 as prefabricated construction. The panels are permitted where an engineering design is submitted in accordance with Section R301.1.3 of the IRC.
3.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Product Information: T-G and S-L panels are manufactured with expanded polystyrene foam plastic insulation and light gauge galvanized steel to create an insulated lightweight structural composite panel. The light gauge steel members (stiffeners) support loads and are flush with each face of the panel. The light gauge steel load bearing stiffeners are separated and bonded to the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation that provides a thermal break between faces. Panels are manufactured by applying a thermosetting adhesive coating to the steel and then subjecting the framing members to low-pressure molding.
3.1.1 Framing: The framing members (stiffeners) are light gauge galvanized steel embedded in both faces of the panel. Stiffeners are spaced at 16 inches (406 mm) or 24 inches ( 610 mm) on center. The light gauge material is roll formed from Nos. 24, 20, 18 or 16 gauge steel sheets bent to shape for use in the panel, as shown in Figure 1 of this report.
3.1.2 Tracks: Panel ends are supplied with Nos. 18, 20 or 24 gauge galvanized or galvalume coated steel tracks.
3.1.3 Upper Header: In wall panels, the upper header is metal or wood with a minimum nominal height of 2 inches (net 1 ½ inch (38 mm)). Nominal timber header dimensions in inches are 2 x 4, 2 x 6 and 2 x 8. Header width shall match the EPS core thickness.
3.1.4 Panel: The standard manufactured panel is 48 inches (1219 mm) wide. Standard panel lengths are 8 feet (2438 mm), 9 feet (2743 mm), 10 feet (3048 mm), or 12 feet (3658 mm). In addition, custom widths and lengths can be formed. Standard panel thickness are 3 ½ inches (89 mm), 5 ½ inches (140 mm) and 7 ½ inches (190 mm), as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 of this report. The T-G fastening system provides for an opening for a wire chase between panels. The type of panel, T-G or S-L, available for a given project is a function of the equipment in the plant where the panels will be manufactured.
3.1.5 Connector/Shear Plate: Connector.shear plates are light gauge steel with a minimum thickness of No. 20 gauge, as shown in Table 2 of this report. The plate area shall be no smaller than 3-inch-by-5-inch (76 mm-by-127mm).
3.1.6 Self-tapping Screws: The screws shall be No. 8 by ½-inch-long (12.7 mm), self-tapping, and produced from steel complying with AISI 1018 or equivalent. Steel hardness shall the Rockwell C44 minimum hardness value.
3.2.1 Expanded Polystyrene (EPS): EPS panels shall be manufactured in accordance with ASTM C578. The flame-spread index and smoke density index shall be less than 25 and 450, respectively, at a nominal density of 1.3 pounds per cubic foot (20.8 grams/liter).
