Abstract
AbstractThe current construction technologies are often characterized as ineffective, with long construction times, heavy structural weight, increased financial and labour cost, and environmentally unsustainable. Innovative construction methods, including modern lightweight panel systems, are characterized by low weight (this affects not only transport characteristics but also the production, such as easier handling of the panels), faster construction time, the guaranteed quality due to industrial production in a factory, economic efficiency and many other benefits. The presented study examined the potential of efficiency and performance of four variants of lightweight construction panels in the context of the required essential properties of prefabricated construction elements, as well as in comparison with the variant of "heavy" prefabricated concrete panel system.
