EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Thi s report outl i nes a test program undertaken to qual i fy 7S-3000 Stressed Skin Panel System to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpora­tion (CMHC) and Alberta Building Standards (ABC) requirements.

The report also gives some of the background of the development of the 7S-3000 stressed skin panels for structural components includ­ing walls, floors, and roofs, and discusses the potential uses for the panel s. Structural, thermal and various other tests have demonstrated that 7S-3000 stressed skin panels may be used in resi­dential and light commercial construction. Applications for product approval have been made to CMHC, the International Conference of' Building Officials (ICBO) in the US, and various other agencies. It appears that formal approvals allowing general use of the 7S-3000 panels will be forthcoming. Various prototype structures including three residences, three farm buildings, and one light commercial project have been completed to date. Invalu­able experience has been gained with these prototypes regarding improved fabrication and field erection procedures. A pilot plant located in Grande Prairie is the only production facility in place to date, and is capable of producing 90 m (300 lin. ft.) of wall panels per shift. This plant1s production procedures and quality control program are being audited by Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd.

Seven S Structures Inc. is establishing a business and marketing plan to place manufacturing facilities in various locations, and to gain wide market acceptability for the 7S-3000 building system.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Overview

This report descr ibes the development of the 7S-3000 Stressed Skin Panel S~stem, the certification requirements for this building product, the test program wi th test results, the panel production methods, and preliminar~ marketing and product distribution.

Grant funding from Alberta Municipal Affairs - Innova­tive Housing Grants Program and Canada/Alberta Forest Resource Development Agreement (Alberta Forestr~, Lands and Wildlife) were made available to Seven S Structures Inc. so that certification testing which would lead to regulator~ approval of the building system could be performed. The scope of the project covered by the funding is confined to: the identification of the tests required for approval b~ Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Alberta Building Standards; the performance of these tests at a certified laboratory i and the submission to CMHC for evaluation.

The report contains information on the s~stem and the company, which is not specificall~ within the scope of the project but which is provided to give the reader a better understanding of the 7S System.

1.2 Comp8n~ Background

The company was incorporated on November 26, 198~ under the name of CANUS Industries Ltd. Due to a challenge b~ the Alberta Companies Branch, it was decided to el im­inate an~ future problems by changing the name to Seven S Structures Inc. The Seven S name was derived from the following statement:

"a Stressed Skin Structure that is Safe, Simple and of Superior Strength."

The compan~ was incorporated to research and subsequentl~ develop a modular factory manufactured system of stressed skin panels which incorporates a foamed in-place insulating core between oriented strand board skins.

This type of construction deviates significantly from the standard wood frame construction presently in use. A stressed skin panel uses less framing material and produces less conductance of heat or cold transfer through the wall/roof. The stressed skin panel concept

Page 10: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

that was developed seemed to have potential and the company decided to test the idea further. Some panels constructed in-house indicated that the development of a stressed skin panel building system using the proposed design seemed practical and realistic.

In 1986, a Pilot Plant was established in Grande Prairie, Alberta, to produce panels for testing and for some prototype projects including residential, commercial and farm buildings. A company head office and pilot plant were subsequently built in Grande Prairie. A subsidiary business office has been set up in Edmonton.

Financing to date has been provided by various sources, including the founding shareholders, provincial government grant program and investors in a private placement share offering.

The company has identified its human and financial resource requirements and has developed a marketing strategy to enter the commercial phase of its operation.

1.3 75-3000 Bulldlng 5~stem

The 75-3000 bui ldi ng system provides a fast, precise method of building energy-efficient houses and small commercial and farm buildings. The basic system is a stressed skin load-bearing panel having a continuous header, base, and top and bottom plates. The panel is very stiff and can be used vertically, horizontally, or on a slope (for roof appl ications) . Panels are filled with polyurethane foam to provide an RSI ~.9 (R-28) insulation value using a 100 mm (~") thick panel. The conti nuous header permits the installation of windows and doors in almost any location without having to install additional headers. Figure 1 on the following page illustrates the basic panel components. (See also Appendix A, Panel Components.)

The 75-3000 building system offers the following advantages:

1) ease and speed of installation; 2) precise sizing with no shrinking, warping or

twisting; 3) high insulation value per inch of panel thickness; ~) easily sealed JOints, minimizing air infiltration; 5) greater strength than conventional framed walls; 6) ease of transportation; and 7) sturdiness during moving and handling.

TYI'ICAL ,. AHE\. seCTION

Panels can be manufactured in various sizes up to 7.32 m x 2.~~ m (2~'x8') in size offering versatility of use. Moreover, their manufacture and assembly require little training.

The 75-3000 building system incorporates common products which have been successfully utilized for many years in simi lar appl ications. Currently, or iented strand board (OSB) is used for skins, spacers, reinforcing headers and baseplates. aSB is available locally and is manufactured from plentiful Alberta aspen. OSB is strong and stiff due to the oriented fibers and it can be produced at lower costs than conventional plywood. The polyurethane foam insulation is manufactured from derivatives of natural gas. It has excellent insulating qualities and provides additional strength to the panel.

l.~ Other Similar S~stems

One of the first undertakings made on completion of the prel imi nary 75-3000 panel design was a thorough investigation of the "state of the art" of insulated building panels. Information was obtained from numerous panel manufacturers in Europe, Canada and the US. Panel systems were investigated and studied:

- Nielsen Winter Insulated Panel systems of Mass, USA - Nascor System by Cano Structures Ltd. of Calgary,

Alberta - Lenap Panel System by I.C.P. Inc. of Mass USA - Chase Panel System of Wisconsin, USA - Tups Panel System by Homasote Inc. of New Jersey, USA

Barriers Inc. of Maine, USA - Futurebilt Panel Building System of Texas, USA - Enercept Building System of Minnesota, USA - Thermapan Roof/Wall System of Fonthill, Ontario - Foam Home Building System of Texas, USA

As well as a thorough review of the above product lines, Seven S Structures Inc. also proceeded wi th a patent appl ication for its panel system. As a resul t of this appl ication, it became necessary to review all other existing patents for Slmll.ar applications, and to compare these inventions with the 7S-3000 building system. In all cases reviewed to date, no Slmllar building system was found to be identical to the 7S bui ldi ng system, al though some of the 7S detai 1 shave been used by other manufacturers. Compared to other competitive systems, the 7S-3000 building system appears to be unique and in our opinion superior to a 11 other existing systems.

The system's integral header system and C-stud, and its method of assembly, were sufficiently distinctive to warrant patent status, which has been granted in the US. Patent applications have been made in Canada, Australia, and some European and Asian countries.

2.0 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

2.1 St~essed Skin Panel Concept

Stressed skin panels consists of webs (longitudinal framing members) covered on one or both sides with flanges (skins). The 75-3000 panels consist of OSB webs and OSB skins, assembled in such a way that the skins are mechanically secured and glued to the webs to form an efficient structural unit. As a result of this form of construction, it is possible to reduce the size of the framing members in comparison to those of a similar unit in which the sheathing acts only as a surface covering. The resulting panel is specifically tailored to make the most efficient use of material. As the name implies, the loads and stresses are transmitted mainly through the ski ns, wi th the webs acting as spacers to separate the skins and to keep the skins parallel. The resultant structural component is similar to a box beam or plate girder. This stressed skin concept is used to produce the 75-3000 wall, roof and floor panels.

2.2 75-3000 Wall S~stem

The 75-3000 wall system consists of 89 mm (3-1/2") wide OSB webs spaced at 610 mm (2Lf") o/c. Both skins con­sisting of 9.5 mm (3/8") OSB, are glued to the web.

The panel core consists of a polyurethane foam insulation which is foamed in place after panel assembly is complete. Polyurethane foam is a thermoset cellular plastic consisting of a solid mass of unconnected small closed cells with densities ranging from ls-LfO kg/cubic metre (1-2 Ibs./cubic ft.). The 75-3000 panel foam core has a density of approximately 30 kg/cubic metre C1. 8 lbs. /cubic ft.). I n this density range, rigid urethane foam is an excellent thermal insulator; in fact, urethane foams are the most efficient insulating materials available today, with an insulation value of approximately RSI Lf. 9 per 100 mm of thickness (R7 per inch of thickness). The combination of small, uncon­nected, closed cells, and light weight enables rigid urethane foam to out-perform all other insulating materials. Other advantageous physical properties of urethane foam are its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, lack of odour and dimensional stability. However, the foam has its limitations since during combustion it emits high levels of toxic smoke; and it deter iorates when exposed to temperatures greater than 80·C.

The wall panels are joined to each other using a spline or a lap joint as shown in Figure 2 below. CSee also Appendix 8, Sheet Panel Joint Detail). This lap is mechanically secured in the field to produce a continuous wall.

Vertical roof or floor poi nt loads are transmitted to the wall by applying a field-installed top plate which transfers point loads into distributed loads. The application of this field-installed top plate is a requirement whenever roof trusses, roof joists or floor JOists are applied to the top of the wall.

The wall panel is equipped with a continuous top header which allows the installation of windows and doors simply by cutting out the rough openings as required. Span limitations for opening widths must be adhered to as determined by the standard test results.

The panel sizes expected to be manufactured are as follows~

2LfLfO mm high x 1220 mm wide C8'xLf') 2LfLfO mm high x 2LfLfO mm wide C8'x8') 2LfLfO mm high x 3660 mm wide C8'x12') 2LfLfO mm high x LfS80 mm wide C8'x16') 2LfLfO mm high x 6096 mm wide C8'x20') 2LfLfO mm high x 7315 mm wide C8'x2Lf')

expander is similar to the wall panel except that it has a double skin. The outer skin is field installed. A wall expander may be considered as a wide spline which requires an additional skin on each side to match the regular wall panel width. The wall expander is illustrated in Figure 3.

2.3 75-3000 Roof 5~stem

The 75-3000 roof system panels are similar to the wall panels but consist of 1'"±0 mm (5-1/2") wide aSB webs spaced at 610 mm (2,"±H) olc with a 9.5 mm (3/8") aSB skin on either side glued to the spacers to produce a panel with an overall thickness of 159 mm (6-1/'"±"). The panel sizes will vary according to the roof span or the spacing of the supporting frames which support the panels. The design snow load will also affect the limitation of the total span.

Like the wall panels, the roof panels have a framed-in­place polyurethane foam insulation core, which is foamed in place after panel assembly is complete, and they are also connected together with splines or lap joints. The R-value produced is approximately R51 7.0 (R-'"±O), depending on the foam type and density being used. 75-3000 roof panels result in sloped interior ceilings. A finish can be applied directly to the inner side of the panels and exterior roofing can be applied directly to the outside. Since the panel is in fact the roof structure, attic spaces are eliminated. Vented over­hangs are no longer necessary and condensation problems should be eliminated.

2.~ 15-3000 Floor 5~st.m

The 75-3000 floor system consists of PiO mm (5-1/2") wide OSS webs spaced at ~OO mm (16") olc wi th a 15.5 mm (5/8") OSS top skin and a 9.5 mm (3/8") OSS bottom skin. At the option of the Client, these panels may be urethane filled or may· remain empty. These floor panels are also joined together with a lap splice or a spline connector, in the direction parallel to the web, and they are butted together over the support members in the direction perpendicular to the webs. These panels are standardized in 1220 mm (~') wide or 2~~0 mm (8') wide sections, with spans ranging from 1.2 m to ~.3 m (~' to 1~'), depending on the loads for which they are designed.

The floor panels are supported on the perimeter foundation walls and intermediate wood or steel beams similar to a conventional Joist floor system. They are secured to these members with screws or long shank nails, as specified in the construction detail drawing, figure ~ below.

In general, the flanges of a stressed skin panel are not uniformly stressed. The stress distribution is rela'ted to the span of the panel and the clear spacing between the webs. To account for this, correction factors are applied in the calculations on allowable loads. Section property calculations are based on the whole panel cross-section.

The final selection of the correct panel geometry and conf iguration is based on trial and error. When the panel section has been selected, the allowable properties for the webs and flanges must be determined in order to determine the ultimate loads, spans and deflections.

Calculation of Allowable Loads

The load-carrying capacity of the panel itself can be calculated using the applicable formula for the follow­ing conditions:

a) load-carrying capacity of the compression flange - buckling - transverse bending - planar shear - deflection

b) load-carrying capacity of panel - compression/tension in skins - bending in stiffeners - horizontal shear of panel - planar shear of panel - deflection of panel

Note that the values calculated for the panel sections are maximum total loads, that is, panel weight plus dead load plus live load. The applicable dead loads must be deducted from the total calculated load, to obtain the maximum safe live load the panel can carry.

These formulas do not include a safety factor. I t is recommended that a safety factor of not less than 2 be applied. In this case, safety factor is defined as the ratio of panel strength to the expected maximum load. A safety factor of 3 has been applied to the 75-3000 panels. Load capacities and span limitations were calculated and confirmed with test results for deflections of 1/360, 1/2~0 and 1/180 respectively.

Upon completion of all these calculations, the lowest calculated load was found to be the load governed by

deflection. According to the provlslons of the National Building Code of Canada, this lowest calculated load can be used as the maximum live load for the panel.

2.6 S~stem Features

In addition to the advantages listed in section 1.3, the 75-3000 building system has some notable additional features.

STRENGTH

Structural tests completed to date indicate that the panel has superior strength. I t is stiff and has good racking resistance compared to a standard wood-frame wall with sheathing on one side only. Because of stiffness, its deflections are limited and the panel may be used for walls under significant wind load conditions and as floors and roofs under signif icant transverse loadings, such as heavy snow loads.

PORTABILITY

Si nce all of the connection detai ls specify that all Joi nts are field screwed, it is possible to erect the structural shell, and then disassemble and re-erect the entire package without damage to the structure. It can be a reuseable and relocateable structure.

MOISTURE PERMEANCE

Permeance tests for the panel skin and core are within specif ied 1 imi ts ; consequently, no vapour barrier application is required on the interior perimeter walls.

FLEXIBILITY

All of the 75-3000 wall panels include a continuous ,top header around the entire periphery of the exterior load­bear i ng walls. As a result, it is possible to cut openings for windows and doors at any desired location. Addi tional windows may be added simply by cutting a opening of appropriate size and installing the desired window. No additional framing is required around the opening, provided it does not exceed 1.8 m (6 ft.) in width.

3.0 CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Ce~tl~lcatlon P~ocedu~es

In o~de~ that 75-3000 System can be used for residential and small commercial construction without a complete engineering analysis performed for each structure, approval of certain building agencies must be obtained. Applicable approvals for the 75-3000 System are the Cent~al Mortgage and Housing Corpo~ation (CMHC), the Bui ldi ng Standa~ds Branch of Alberta Labour, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and in the U.S.A., the International Conference of Building Officials ( I CBO) and aff i 1 iated organizations. Each organization has its own set of standards that must be met. From this information, a flow chart was established to outline the certification procedure to be followed:

1) Combine the certification procedures for all of the agencies and establish a maste~ list of information required.

2) Identify all of the requi~ed tests, including a) structural tests, b) fire ratings and thermal barrier

tests, c) permeability water vapour trans­

mission test, and d) othe~ tests.

3) Obtain certification data for each of the main components of the panel ie. (OSB, foam and glue) .

~) Identify testing agencies qualified to perf,orm the necessary tests.

5) Perform tests and obtain test data. 6) Prepare a quality control manual and designate

a quality control agency to audit plant facil­ities.

7) Submit completed applications fo~ certification to each of the agencies.

8) Following review of submitted application by each of the agencies, p~ovide any additional information as requested.

9) Construct the necessa~y prototype projects required to satisfy the agencies.

10) Allow a period of four to six months for the certification agencies to review and respond to the application, and to prepare a product evaluation report.

11) Use the product evaluation report(s) acco~ding

to the conditions and limitations set out in them.

Since ICBO and CMHC approvals may give easier access to three of the other agencies, they were sought first.

3.2 CMHC Requirements

CMHC requires that panel components be designed with the framing according to the requirements of the residential standards or part 9 of the National Building Code (NBC), Alternatively, CMHC will evaluate a new and innovative product on the basis of tests performed at a CMHC approved laboratory and associated engineering data. See Appendix F, CMHC Building Evaluation Report Technical Requirements.

Testing of the panels must be done, if applicable, in accordance with the test standard ASTM E72 "Standard Methods of Conducting Strength Test of Panels for Building Construction". Tests on the 75-3000 panel system was performed at the Coqui tlam, B. C. laboratory of Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd. This facility has CMHC approval.

Mater ials used in the construction of the panels must also meet standards. Foam must meet 51GP 21M "Urethane Unfacted Test" and a surface burning test, as per CSA CAN~-S102-M80. The glue used must be certified as an exterior type of glue. The OSB has already been evaluated by CMHC.

CMHC requires that the panel components be designed with the framing according to the requirements of the Residential Standards or Part 9 of the National Building Code (NBC). (See Appendix F, CMHC Building Evaluation Report Technical Requirements.) Alternatively, the system can be engineered according to Part ~ of the NBC. In either case, the system would be limi ted to use in buildings of fewer than three storeys in height and 600 sq.m in area.

The strength of stress skin panels is to be based on structural stress limitations in CSA CAN3-086 "Engineering Design in Wood", and requires confirmatory structural strength tests according to load test requirements as defined in ASTM ME8309.

CMHC also requires that ten successful prototype structures be erected before approval is granted. To date, thirteen prototypes have been completed.

3.3 ICBO Requirements

ICBO together with its sister agencies CABO, BOCA and BCMC are the approval agencies for certification of building products in the US. The ICBO is responsible for the western US region.

The ICBO and affiliated organizations will accept a panel construction type based on either load tests or a rational analysis. Testing must be done by an approved testing agency. Required tests include structural tests in accordance with ASTM E72-80, density and water absorption tests as per ASTM C272. If the analysis route is chosen, supplemental panel tests may be necessary in order to verify design assumptions, In addition to the above, a quality control manual must be developed, (See Appendix G for the ICBO "Acceptance criteria for Sandwich Panels" and "Quality Control Manual Requirements",)

Page 25: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

Under the direction of Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd., which is a recognized quality control agency and accredited testing laboratory in the US, Seven S Structures Inc. proceeded wi th an acceptance application for its 7S-3000 panel system.

In order to submit an application, ICBO requirements and acceptance criteria had to be satisfied, in accordance with the following documents:

- ICBO Research Committee Acceptance Criteria for Sandwich Panels, April 1977 (See Appendix G.)

- ICBO Evaluation Service Inc. Quality Control Manual Requirements, April 1986 (See Appendix G.)

Upon completion of this evaluation, an approved ICBO evaluation number will be issued and the product listed as an approved product in the ICBO Building Standards Evaluation Report Listing in its appropriate category. This will allow use of the product within the geographic area under the Jur isdiction of the ICBO. A further submission can then be made to the National Evaluation Service Committee of the Council of American Building Officials. Approval from this agency will grant the 7S-3000 product a National Evaluation Reports CNER) listing. The NER listing provides the product with national approval across the US. Seven S will proceed to obtain an NER listing for the 7S-3000 Building System.

3.~ CSA Requirements

CSA is a non-profit private-sector organization, where standards are widely used by industry and commerce, and are often adopted into regulations by governmental authorities, particularly in the areas of safety, health and the environment. Seven S Structures Inc. contacted CSA to obtain the necessary acceptance requirements for its 7S-3000 Building System.

CSA does not approve building systems. It does perform evaluations of building products which are used in mobile homes. Acceptance of a building system by CMHC or Alberta Building Standards will normally render it acceptable for use in mobile homes.

- 17 -

Page 26: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

CSA has advised that CMHC and Alberta Building Standards acceptance be obtained first, and that the system comply wi th the appl icable sections of the NBCC. Once these acceptances are in place, CSA will perform its own evaluation, which wi 11 be mi nimal . Approval of the system wi 11 1 ikely be granted subject to any condi tion unique to its application in mobile homes.

3.5 Alberta Building Standards Requirements

contacted Alberta Labour, Division, Building Standards requirements for provincial Standards Branch requirements as those for CMHC, the Branch to the Alberta Building Code

Seven 5 Structures Inc. General Safety Services Branch, regarding its approval, whi le Bui Idi ng are essentially the same also requires adherence (ABC) .

Initially, three major concerns were expressed by Alberta Building Standards:

1) The 75-3000 building system appeared to require a f ire barr ier such as 12.7 mm gypsum board to protect the foamed plastic insulation, on the inside of the building.

2) They felt that all structural tests should be performed on panels without the foamed i nsul­ation.

3) Construction details, nailing schedules, con­nectors and caulking requirements have to be in accordance with the Alberta Bui Idi ng Code and related Standata.

Representatives of Alberta Building Standards attended a meeting to establish approval requirements and approval procedures for the 75-3000 building system. This meeting established a complete list of structural tests in accordance with ASTM E72-80 which would satisfy all of the approva 1 agenc i es . (See Append i x H , Qua 1 i ty Control Manual.)

3.6 Production Environment

To obtain CMHC and ICBO approvals, 75-3000 panels must be produced in an exacting and certified manner. Such a process involves three elements: a quality control manual, a quality control supervisor and plant certification. The quality control manual identifies cr1teria product parameters and specifies special

Page 27: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

testing and control systems. Control Manual.)

(See Appendix H, Quality

Quality control of the product is maintained through an employer designated quality control supervisor. At Seven S Structures Inc. this posi tion is held by the production manager, while the chief engineer oversees the development of quality control systems.

The firm of Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd. is retained by Seven S Structures Inc. to provide third­party quality assurance inspection and testing, in accordance with CMHC and ICBO requirements. This firm will make four random and unannounced inspection visits per year to the plant to ensure that the product is being manufactured in accordance with policies set forth in the quality control manual. During these visits, the firm wi 11 inspect production procedures and equipment, and ensure that the manual is current.

3.7 Certified Testing Agencies

For a product to be considered for certif ication, the necessary product tests must be performed by a certified testing agency recognized by the certification authority having jurisdiction. It is advantageous to choose a testing agency which is recognized by all of those agencies in order to avoid costly duplication of tests.

Testing agencies recognized by most of the certification authorities are:

- Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd. Coquitlam, BC, Canada

- Factory Mutual Research Corporation Norwood, MA, USA

- Underwriters Laboratories of Canada Scarborough, Ontario, Canada

- National Research Council of Canada Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Seven S Structures Inc. sought an agency which can also provide the ongoing plant quality control service required to maintain ongoing certification of a manufac­tured product. For Western Canada, Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd. from Coquitlam, BC provides all the necessary services, and is recognized by all the certification authorities. As a result, this firm was chosen to perform all of the required tests, to produce the quality control manual and to carry out the ongoing quality control audit at the Grande Prairie pilot plant.

3.8 CertiFication Costs and Funding

The total certiFication costs were estimated to be about $125,000. These costs were related to the following items:

a) in-house testing b) design and engineering costs c) test panel fabrication transportation

costs d) laboratory testing costs e) quality control manual costs f) application fees g) submission preparation costs h) quality control plant inspections

I t is expected that ongoing certif ication costs, per plant, will be $10,000 per year.

Funding for certification costs was provided by Seven S Structures Inc., and grants were provided by Alberta Municipal Affairs and Alberta Forestry.

All of the Innovative Housing Grant Program funding was used to pay for fire and thermal laboratory tests, the associated test panel construction and transportation costs. The Canada Alberta Forest Resource Development Agreement grant was used for physical testing and the preparation of the qual i ty control manual. Receipt of these funds was subject to completion of the tests and preparation of the quality control manual.

~.O TESTING PROGRAM

After Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd. was retained by Seven S to perform the required tests, their manager of field inspections and physical testing made a site visit to the Grande Prairie pilot plant and prepared a list of required tests. A tentative testing schedule running from September through November 1986 was established. The following test panels were constructed by Seven S and forwarded to Warnock Hersey for testing:

Tests performed on the panels consisted of structural, flame spread and fire endurance tests, as discussed in the following sections.

If.l Structural Tests

Structural tests performed on the three types of 75-3000 panels - wall, floor and roof were:

Transverse load - wall, floor and roof panels Axial load - wall panels Racking - wall panels

A copy of the test report on the above tests are given in Appendix D which indicates that these tests were passed.

The structural tests confirmed the suitability of the 75 panels for use in residential structures.

The results of the transverse load tests were used to establish a preliminary set of span tables. Results from the axial load and racking tests indicated that the 75 wall panel is not only strong enough to carry com­monly encountered loads, but is actually stronger than a 2xlf stud wall of convention construction.

1f.2 Thermal Tests

Three types of thermal tests have been performed on the 75-3000 panels:

Fire endurance - wall panel Fire endurance - wall panel with plaster Flame spread - wall panel

Copies of the test reports on the above tests are given in Appendix E. The panels without a fire protective layer (for example, gypsum wallboard) passed the National Building Code requirements but failed the Alberta Building Code requirements.

- 22 -

Page 31: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

To summarize the findings of these reports, the flame spread classification ranges from 126 to 1 'iO, with a smoke developed value of 'i6S. 8y itself, a load-bearing wall was found to have a rating of seven minutes. An addi tional fire barrier, such as gypsum wallboard, is required in Alberta in order to bring it up to the required standard for use in residential construction of ten minutes.

~.3 Other Tests

Water vapour permeance tests for wall panels and structural tests (See Appendix I) on basement panels have also been performed. Two types of samples were tested. The first was a 'iSO mm x 'iSO mm C18"x18") sample without any joints. These were tested for approximately three months and showed a water vapour transmission of O. The second included a standard JOint running the full width of the specimen. This was tested for approximately three months and showed a water vapour transmission of O. These results indicate that a separate vapour barrier is not necessary with 75-3000 wall panels.

~.~ Modification and Retests

8ased on the preliminary series of tests, two changes to the panels were made to increase panel strength and to simpl ify field erection. One was the development of a lap JOint, as opposed to the spline joint previously in use. This proved to be a simpler and more convenient method of joining panels. The C-stud was also changed. Prev iously, the stud web was glued and stapled to the plain pieces of 058 used as flanges. A dado is now cut in the flange pieces to fit the web resulting in a stronger JOint. Retests were done and the findings were incorporated in the test results.

~.5 Summarw of Test Results

Structural, thermal and water vapour permeance tests were performed on the 75-3000 panels. Detailed test results may be found in Appendices D and E.

STRUCTURAL TESTS

Structurally, the 75-3000 panels can be used for housing and small buildings as governed by Part 9 of the

Page 32: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

National Building Code. They may be used as walls, roofs and floors, subject to the span limitations established by the test results. The maximum transverse load allowed on a wall panel with a maximum allowable deflection is 28 kN/m (1900 lbs./lin. ft.). A 2.~ m (8 ft.) high wall panel is capable of withstanding a maximum wind load of 3.0 kPa (6~ Ibs./sq. ft.) for a deflection of 1/180. Maximum roof spans and floor spans for a live load of 1.92 kPa (~O Ibs./sq. ft.) is ~.3 m (1~ ft.).

Thermal tests indicate that the burn-through period for an unprotected load bearing wall panel is nine minutes. Flame spread characteristics of the panel are:

- 126 to 1~0 - ~6S - 100

As a result, the foamed panel must be protected with a thermallfire barrier equivalent to 12.7 mm (1/2") dry­wall on the inside of the building.

Water vapour permeance tests on all samples, including those with jOints, were OJ this indicates that the panel does not require a vapour barrier application on the warm side of the panel.

5.0 PANEL PRODUCTION

The manufacture of a 75-3000 panel can be divided into two parts: component cutting and manufactur i ng oper­ation, and component assembly. Depending upon the intended appl ication, a panel may be filled with poly­urethane foam insulation.

The Grande Prairie plant currently combines both operations, although it is possible to have them in separate plants. This is expected to be the case in the future.

5.1 Manufacturing Methods

Raw materials consist mainly of sheets of oriented strand board (OSB), glue and foam chemicals. In the shop, the OSB is cut to size for use as panel skins, headers, base plates and C-studs. Components of the panel are glued and stapled together. If the panel is to be foamed, it is placed in a hydraulic press where the panel cavities are filled and allowed to cure. After curing, the panels are inspected and either shipped or culled.

5.2 Facilit~ and Equipment Requ1rements

The current plant has an area of approximately 670 sq. m 7,200 sq.ft.). Equipment is comprised of saws, assembly tables for C-studs and panels, a hydraul ic press, foam gun, and equipment for transporting and handling raw materials and finished panels, including an overhead crane, rollers and conveyors, and a forklift.

If the component cutting and manufacturing operation is set up separately from the assembly operation, the com­ponent cutting plant should be set up in a central location, close to material suppliers. At this plant, the OSB would be cut to shape for panel skins and C­studs, and C-studs assembled. Thus, equipment for large-scale cutting and dadoing would not be necessary at the assembly plants.

A number of assembly plants could be served by one component plant. The assembly plants would receive pre­cut panel skins, C-studs, glue and foam from the compo­nent plant. The panels would be assembled, foamed if necessary, and shipped to customers.

6.0 MARKETING AND PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION

The 75-3000 Building System is an innovative system with great potential, but to sell the product, the market must be identif ied and the product introduced to the market.

6.1 Potent!al Market

Major advantages of the 75-3000 building system are its high insulation value and modular construction. These advantages make it particularly attractive for residen­tial and small commercial structures in areas where temperature extremes can occur (most of North Amer ica falling within this category).

At the time of writing, 75-3000 building system is still in the process of finding its way into residential and commercial structures. Some single-family dwellings and a warehouse have been constructed. These buildings have shown the system to be convenient and practical.

Some other potential applications include small apart­ment blocks, motels,· house packages, mobile homes and construction camp trailers. Sales to individuals through building supply companies is also a possibility, although the panel size may be difficult to handle for those who don't have the appropriate equipment.

Currently, efforts are being made to promote the product in Alberta. The main thrust is toward house builders wi thin shipping distance of the Grande Prairie pilot plant.

Sales of the 75-3000 building system are currently limited by the relatively remote location of the pilot plant, which makes shipping costs a major deterrent to sales. Separating plant functions into component manufacturing plants and assembly plants, and locating the latter in central areas close to supplies and mar­kets would reduce shipping costs while increasing capacity. Initially, a component and assembly plant may be set up in the Edmonton area, with future expansion to the rest of Alberta and other provinces.

6.2 Export Potential

Sales of the 75-3000 building system to areas outside Canada seem to have great potential. Climatic con­ditions in the United States, Japan and Europe would

- 26 -

Page 35: DEVELOPMENT OF THE 7S-3000 STRESSED SKIN …cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/bookstore_pdfs/19416.pdf · STRESSED SKIN PANEL BUILDING SYSTEM (DETAILED REPORT) by ... This report descr ibes the development

seem to provide a rich market for the panels. The system is also attractive for housing in tropical cl imates as the high insulation value keeps heat out quite effectively.

Historically, the European and Japanese markets have been diff icul t to penetrate. Japanese bui Iders have been reluctant to accept new foreign types of construc­tion; whi le wi thi n the European Economic Communi ty, a number of competing energy-efficient housing systems are already being manufactured. Shipping costs to both areas would be considerable until local plants could be set up. The Amer ican market may prove to be more attractive and will be considered upon receipt of ICBO approval. The current low value of the Canadian dollar makes our prices attractive, although protectionist elements in the US may attempt to hinder sales through taxes and tariffs.

6.3 Franchise Distribution Network

Seven S Structures Inc. plans to sell manufacturing franchises to individuals or companies wishing to pro­duce and sell the 7S-3000 building system. The fran­chise will entitle them to build a Seven S assembly plant in their market area.

The manufacturer will purchase panel components through Seven S, as well as supply plant facilities. A royalty on sales will be paid to Seven S, and sales will norm­ally be restricted to a specific market area.

For its part, Seven S will provide panel components, assist franchisees with basic plant design, perform all required testing and obtain required approvals from various agencies. Seven S will also provide all specialized equipment necessary for a panel assembly plant and provides for plant start-up.

Promotion of the system will be a joint effort, with Seven S providing sales literature and sales management, and local promotion being handled by the manufacturer.

6,~ Present Marketing Status

A strategic marketing plan is being developed by Seven S Structures Inc., with the help of a marketing specialist. This plan will determine which segments of

the market should be catered to, and the manner in ~hich these market segments can be accessed.

Currently, Seven 5 is handl i ng i ts o~n promotion and sales. Prototype structures have been constructed in Creston, BC, in Grande Prairie and in Edmonton. A brochure has been prepared and distributed to home builders across the province in order to make the 75-3000 building system kno~n. A catalogue of specu­lative building plans is being dra~n up; plans include ~arehouses, shops, houses, cottages and mobile homes.

A promotional video is being prepared, as ~ell as liter­ature aimed at architects and engineers. This promotion ~ill familiarize an influential segment of the construc­tion industry ~ith the 75-3000 building system.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND PRODUCT STATUS

The 75-3000 building system has great potential. The system has been successfully used in a number of proto­type structures, and evaluation tests to date have been very promising. Warnock Hersey Professional Services Ltd., an approved testing laboratory for both CMHC and its American counterparts, ICBO, performed the test series on the panels, and adjudged them completely sat­isfactory for residential and small commercial buildings. Formal application for approval by CMHC and ICBO has been made.

CMHC is in the process of preparing the evaluation report for the system, which would allow it to be used as an acceptable building product in Canada, subject to the restrictions set out in the evaluation report.

ICBO is currently evaluating the system for general use as a standard building component subject to certain con­ditions and restrictions.

Based on the completed structural and thermal test results, a request for approval of the 75-3000 building system has been submitted to Alberta Building Standards for its review and approval.

A patent for the 75-3000 bui Idi ng system has recently been issued in the United States. Patent applications for Canada, Australia, and some European and Asian countries have also been submitted. The "75-3000" trademark has been registered in Canada and application is being made in the US.

At present, interest in the 75-3000 panel system is growing, in both the domestic and international markets. Orders, have been received from as far away as the Caribbean, and negotiations for projects in eastern Canada are continuing. The future plans for Seven 5 Structures Inc. encompass a public stock offering, licensing of panel fabrication plants, and participation in foam blending and OSB manufacturing operations. This will all result in a self-sustaining company, with a bright future.

INTRODUCTION:

As requested, we have carried out structural Load tests on Seven S Structures Inc. prefabricated wall, roof, and floor panels~ The tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E72-80 "Standard Methods of Conducting Strength Tests of Panels for Building Construction." The purpose of these tests was to determine the structural properties of the prefabricated panels developed by Seven S Structures Inc. All structural tests were conducted on panels without the polyurethane core.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVEN S STRUCTURES PREFABRICATED PANELS

a) The prefabricated wall panels are constructed with a 3/8" O.S.B. skin on either side, glued to the wall spacer with waterproof Phenol-Resoranol glue. Wall spacers are spaced at 24" O.c. The total panel thickness is 4 1/8".

b) The roof panels are constructed similar to wall panels except that the total thickness of the panel is 6 1/2".

c) The floor panel is constructed with a 5/8" O.S.B. skin on topside and 3/8" skin on the underside. Total thickness of the floo"': panel is 6 7/8" and 'the spaces are at 16" o.c.

Note: All structural tests were conducted on panels without the polyurethane foam.

TEST PROCEDURES:

1. TRANSVERSE LOAD TEST

Tes~s were carried out in accordance with ASTM E72-80. Tests were performed on three like specimen of the wall system without the polyurethane infill. The test specimens were submitted by Seven S Structures. Four feet by eight feet test panels without the polyurethane infill were placed horizontally in the test frame on a span of 90". Loads were applied at the quarter points, using a hydraulic ram and pump system. At each increment of the load, the deflection of the panel at mid span was measured, using dial indicators reading to one thousandth of an inch. An average of two readings (one on either side of the panel) was calculated. Load deflection data is tabulated and plotted. Stiffness of the four feet wide panel was calculated using linear regression and standard engineering formulas for loading conditions.

DISCUSSION OF TEST RESULTS

1. TRANSVERSE LOAD TEST

1.1 WALL PANELS

From the test results it can be seen that the wall panels can withstand a load of 47.7 psf on a span of eight feet with a deflection limit of span/240. Wind blowing at 75 m.p.h. exerts a force of 14 psf, so it can be seen that the wall panels are sufficiently strong to withstand wind loads commonly experienced. The wall panels are stronger than the common 2" x 4" stud wall at 16" o.C.

1.2 FLOOR PANELS

Floor panels on eight foot span can carry loads of up to 96 psf deflection limit of span/360, however at 16 foot span the allowable load falls down 13.0 psf and as such taking the lowest EI value into consideration, floor spans of 10 foot span with deflection limit of span/360 can carry loads up to 50 psf which falls wi thin th'e common range of residential floor loads.

1.3 ROOF PANELS

Eight foot roof panels can support loads of 59 psf with deflection limits of span/360 and the load carrying capacity is greatly reduced at 16 feet span to 10 psf. Therefore it is recommended that to obtain a higher load carrying capacity on greater spans, the roof panels be designed with a stiffer section of spacer column.

2. AXIAL & RACKING SHEAR - WALL PANELS

Axial and Racking shear test results indicate that the wall panel is capable of Withstanding axial loads of 1835 lbs/lin ft. and 560 lbs/lin ft. of shear load. The allowable axial load is within the normal range of the loads encountered commonly in residential construction and the allowable racking is in excess of the loads that it would normally be subjected to.

TES'r INS'l'ALLA'rION ( CONS'rRUC'rION )

The test portion was assembled from two panels to form a wall 9' - 2 3/4 11 (2813 rom) high by 14'4" (4368 rom) wide. The larger panel was 8' wide. The smaller panel was 6'4" wide. The wall panels were assembled from studs, top and bottom plates, wall reinforcing and face panels, all of which were cut from various thicknesses of oriented strand board (O.S.B.) A vertical crossection of the wall is shown in Figure 1. The studs as shown in Figure 2 were installed on 24" maximum centers. These components were glued with Phenol Resorcenol from Borden at all joints. In addition the face panels were stapled. These staples were spaced at 3" on the end studs and along the bottom plate, and at 6" along intermediate studs. Three rows of staples spaced at 6" were used on the top header. Single sheets of O.S.B. formed the surface of each panel. The cavities between the studs were filled with polyurethane foamed in place. One surface of the panels was covered with 1/4" (6 rom) of acrylic plaster.

At the joints between the panels the facing extended 1 3/4" (44 rom) beyond the studs. The cavity at the joint was filled with a filler made from polyurethane foam covered on the outer sides with 3/8" (9.5 mm) O.S.B. PL40Q caulking was applied to the filler before it was installed in the wall. Each face panel was screwed on 6" centers. The assembly,was completed by attaching a 1 3/8" (34.9 mm ) O.S.B. plate on the top of the wall with 2 1/2" wallboard screws spaced 24" and placing the wall on a similar plate at the bottom. On the plastered side of the wall the surface was finished with acrylic plaster at the jOint. The wall was installed in the furnace with the plastered side exposed to the fire.

A load of 1500 lbs. per lineal foot was applied to the wall with hydraulic cylinders. This load was maintained throughout the test.

The moveable frame containing the test assembly was secured to the furnace. The pilot burners were ignited and burned until the temperature inside the furnace reached 20 ~ 2°C (70 ~ 3°F).

All burners were fired and timing was begun immediately upon achieving maximum high fire.

Observations were made throughout the fire exposure period.

The temperature inside the furnace was monitored by twelve uniformly distributed thermocouples. These readings were automatically plotted approximately once every minute. See Figure 3

Deflections were measured across the test assembly at midheight. See Table 2

Temperature on the unexposed surface of the wall were obtained according to the test standard. The temperature rise at each pOint was calculated. A summary of this data is shown in Table 1 •

CONCLOSIONS

To achieve the minimum rating of 20 minute a wall must not burn through and it must not allow water from the hose stream test to project through it. A load bearing wall must support the load for the rating period of 20 minutes.

This wall had burned through in 9 minutes and at this point would have allowed water to penetrate. At 14 minutes 45 seconds the wall was unable to support the applied load.

Therefore the Load Bearing Wall did not meet the requirements of the CAN4-S101-M82 and ASTM E119-84. test standard.

TEST PROCEDURE

The results of the test are expressed by three indexes. index expresses the characteristics of the sample under relative to that of select grade' red oak flooring asbestos-cement board.

(A) FLAME SPREAD CLASSIFICATION:

Each test

and

This index relates to the rate of progression of a flame along a sample in the 25 foot tunnel.

A natural gas flame is applied to the front of the sample at the start of the test and drawn along the sample by a draft kept constant for the duration of the test.

An observer notes the progression of the flame front relative to time.

The flame spread classification for red oak flooring is 100, and 0 for asbestos-cement board.

CALCULATIONS:

According to the test is equal to 5363

(195-At)

standard, the flame spread classification when At is the total area beneath the

spread curve, if this area exceeds 97.5 minute-feet.

If the area beneath the curve is less than or equal to 97.5 minute-feet the classification becomes .564 x At.

ASTM E84 Calculations are based on factors of 4900

and 0.515 x At. ( 195 -At)

TBS~ ·INS~~ION ( CONSTRUCTION )

The test portion was assembled from two panels to form a wall 9' - 2 3/4" (2813 mm) high by 14' - 4" (4368 mm) wide. The larger panel was 8' wide. The smaller panel was 6'4" wide. The wall panels were assembled from studs, top and bottom plates, wall reinforcing and face panels, all of which were cut from various thicknesses of oriented strand board (O.S.B.) A vertical crossection of the wall is shown in Figure 1. The studs as shown in Figure 2 were installed on 24" maximum· centers. These components were glued with Phenol Resorcenol from Borden at all joints. In addition the face panels were stapled. These staples were spaced at 3" on the end studs and along the bottom plate, and at 6" along intermediate studs. Three rows of staples spaced at 6" were used on the top header. Single sheets of O.S.B. formed the surface of each panel. The cavities between the studs were filled with polyurethane foamed in place.

At the joints between the panels the facing extended 1 3/4" (44 rom) beyond the studs. The cavity at the joint was filled with a filler made from polyurethane foam covered on the outer sides with 3/8" (9.5 mm) O.S.B. PL400 caulking was applied to the filler before it was. installed in the wall. Each face panel was screwed on 6" centers. The assembly was completed by attaching a 1 3/8" (34.9 mm ) O.S.B. plate on the top of the wall with 2 1/2" wallboard screws spaced 24" and placing the wall on a similar plate at the bottom.

A load of 1500 lbs. per lineal foot was applied to the wall with hydraulic cylinders. This load was maintained throughout the test •

. The moveable frame containing the test assembly was secured to the furnace. The pilot burners were ignited and burned until the temperature ins~de the furnace reache,~ 20 .:!:. 2°C (70 .:!:. 3°F).

All burners were 'fired and timing was begun immediately upon achieving maximum high fire.

Observations were made throughout the fire exposure period.

The temperature inside the furnace was monitored by twelve uniformly distributed thermocouples. These readings were automatically plotted approximately once every minute. See Figure 3

Deflections were measured across the test assembly at midheight. See Table 2

Temperature on the unexposed surface of the wall were obtained according to the test standard. The temperature rise at each pOint was calculated. A summary of this data is shown in Table 1 •

COli CLO S IOliS

To achieve the minimum rating of 20 minutes a wall must not burn through and it must not allow water from the hose stream test to project through it. A load bearing wall must support the load for the rating period of 20 minutes.

This wall had burned through in 9 minutes and at this point would have allowed water to penetrate. At 10 minutes 20 seconds the wall was unable to support the applied load.

Therefore the Load Bearing Wall did not meet the requirements of the CAN4-S101-M82 and ASTM E119-84 test standards.

4.2 General:

4.2.1 The testS are to be conducted as set forth under Paragraph 1.2.

~.2.2 Except for the impact test, three tests of each type arc reo quired with none \'aryin, more than IS percent from the average of the three. unless the lowest test value is used. The averale result based on a minimum of five tests may be U$ed reaardless of the variations. The results of twO tests may be u$Cd when the higher value does not exceed the lower value by more than S percent and the lower value is u$Cd with the required factors of safety.

4.2.3 Where testS are nOt conducted to failure, the hillhest load achieved for each test will be assumed as ultimate.

4.2.4 Factors of safety are dependent on the consiSlency of materials. the range of test results and the load deformation characteristics of the panel. Generally, a minimum factor of safety of three is applied to the ultimate load based on the averalle of three testS. Lower facton of safety may be assi,ned to panels or systems employins steel or aluminum havin, consistent physical properties.

4.2.5 Allowable loads will be limited by established fastener values or denection limitations if lower than values from panel loadinltests.

A deflection limitation of LI24() of the span is requITed for brittle skin materials such u plaster.

4.3.3 All wall panels shall be loaded in increments to failure with denections taken to obtain denection and set characteristics. Where preloadin, is Jpplied. the loadinS. denection and recovery shall be noted. The amount of preloadins shall not exceed 10 percent of the final allowable load unless approved by the Research Committee.

4.3.4 Transverse load tests on panels havins window or door openings are required unless subject to rational analysis. Load ap­plication must be done in a manner that renects field loading condi­tions.

QUALITY CONTROL MAlWAL REQUIREMENTS

(Adopted April, 1986)

I. GENERAL:

The quality control manual must be prepared by the manufacturer in consultation with a quality control agency recognized by the ICBOES.

Follow-up inspection frequency must be u speCified by the quality control agency but not less than four inspections per year for facUities in operation during the entire year. Consideration of fewer Inspections will require the written concurrence of the ICBOES. Since plants employing seuonal production schedules are more exposed to quality control related problems because of the Inactive periods, the quality control&lency may require supplemental inspections during each start-up period. The supplemental inspections and other special requirements must be specified in the manual.

In administering a quality control program on a product covered by an ICBOES evaluation report, the inspection agency has the responsibllty of taking necessary action in the event of violations. The determination of a major or minor problem of quality control is by the inspection &lency, who in turn, must advise the ICBOES in writing of a major violation. The ICBOES defines a major violation u a production discrepancy, contrary to quality control procedures, that presents a potential hazard to the user.

Total control by the Inspection agency of Identification methods specified in evaluation reports is necessary in order that the quality control agency can better monitor production of the listed item. This requires that the entire process De acim1nistered by the &lency. Printing of labels may be done by others with the proper control.

D. ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION:

a. Signatures which confer legitimacy to the document. Both the manufacturer and the quality control agency must sign and date the manual.

b. Scope.

c. Table of contents keyed to consecutively numbered pages.

d. Company quality control pollcles.
