In general walls or slabs made of Ecowall panels after concrete (shotcrete) will perform both as load bearing and non-load bearing as these are reinforced concrete sandwich elements. Once the panels are assembled and connected permanently these performs a unified monolithic structure efficiently transferring compression, tension and shear in the plane of walls and slabs connected. The structure responds and performs like a “BOX” with minimal bending moment at the joints and connections.
Further, the reinforcements although smaller in diameter are distributed evenly throughout the surface of the structure. This matrix of reinforcement and truss like formation makes the walls very robust and monolithic. Forces acting horizontally like Wind or earthquake are efficiently absorbed by the Ecowall elements, the respective “BOX” like formation has to be provide and all connections between wall & wall, Wall & Slab take into consideration this “BOX” Like behavior which is more stable than traditional frame structure
