ED System

Thermo Panel Wall, because safety comes first.‎ In 1997 our research centre designer a seven bearings system to ensure consistent behaviour of the structures, and at the same time improved the efficiency of the overall frame.‎ We have been particularly careful in the filling by designing them in a way that avoids its expulsion.‎ By observing the damage caused by earthquakes on building made of reinforced concrete, we found that the expulsion of external fillings and the internal fall of ceilings not adequately anchored to pillars and reinforced concrete beams cause severe damage and even the loss of human lives.‎ The filling walls in frame structures, made of reinforced concrete or steel, are vital to separate the spaces both from outdoors and between the different building units.‎ They were though, the weakest ring in a mesh.‎ The solution we designed offers maximum safety during an earthquake (significantly increasing the resistance to out-of-plane expulsion), while at the same time limit to the post-earthquake maintenance costs.‎ The filling walls do not absorb just any building strain, only those relating its physical and structural conformation.‎ Further info from manufacturer on THERMO TAMPONAMENTO ED System
