Introduction
ASA series plate is patented products of gorgeous joint high-tech Co., Ltd. Beijing R & D which is
made in the multi-function programmable production line. Its main raw material is fly ash (ash
greater than 50%), cement, foaming agents, additives, fiberglass mesh cloth and so on. Lightweight
concrete products which are made of the fly ash and cement and other materials is closed cellular
structure. The lightweight concrete products do not need be calcined or autoclaved, Nor a lot of
water to conserve. Only curing in tunnel kiln at 40 ° C 4h-6h, it can produce a finished product. The
methods of replacement abrasives can produce different specifications sheet. The houses can be
manufactured in the production line achieving housing construction factory, production
standardization and on-site assembly of manufacturing production system.
Types and Characteristics
Sheet characteristics. ASA sheets are of light weight, high strength, thermal insulation, fire
resistance, sound insulation, earthquake, fire and other properties. ASA composite insulation wall
panels which are of its good thermal insulation properties can be used in different ways to form
walls and roof structures which are of insulation and thermal insulation, according to different
climatic regions. There is a good energy saving effect. Skids which are 100 * 100 should be placed
between stack. Skids spacing should not exceed 1500mm and stacking height should not exceed 4.5
meters total . It should have water-resistant measures when they are stored outside.The type of ASA
plateis shown in Fig.
Material Properties. Type of panels production can be divided into, composite insulation wall
panels (FX boards ) , round wall plate (YX board ) , roof (WG or WGG board ) , floor , solid wall
and window holes side panels.

Hole wall-panels. Its thickness is 90mm, the surface density is 42.6kg/m2, bending load is
2410N, impact resistance is 5/ 5 times, a single point hanging force is 1000N, moisture content is
5.5% , the combustion performance is the A -class , air sound insulation is 44dB.
Roof, solid wall and floor. Roof, solid wall and floor which are tested by the State
Construction Engineering Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, are in line with the relevant
requirements of " Concrete Construction Quality Acceptance " (GB-50204-2002).
Application models in architectural design
Modular construction of ASA sheet.
Standardization of processing mold. The modulus of the plate in the production process is an
important means of standardization. The factory has a set of standard production processes in the
production process, The sheets which are produced by standard processes can be standard on the
quality and specifications. All ASA sheets are 600mm width. The length can also be produced
according to the needs of the buildings. It can increase the speed of construction. Pipelined mode
of production that the construction materials produced by a multi-purpose programmable automatic
machine, makes industrial scale, high degree of industrialization come true easily.

The diversity of product assembly. Standardization and diversification can complement each
other. Envelopes, exterior walls, roofs and so on which are in different specifications can be
combined, according to the climatic conditions in different regions and actual construction
requirements of different parts in practice. The width of a bay is 3600mm in ordinary residential
buildings and 6 floor plates can be employed for it. The width of the bathroom is 1800mm and it
needs three plates as a floor. Plates whose sides are rational can be combined, depending on the
different architectural functions. It is "rational" control tool to match design modulus and
construction modulus of the plates. As can be seen from Figure 2, the width of the sheet is
600mm.It can meet the needs of ordinary residence in most cases.

Prefabricated Building Design. The installed technique of building system which is made of
reinforced concrete structure with ASA mosaic panels is mosaic. That is，the external walls are
made of two layers of insulated panels. A 9cm-thick layer of insulated board which is bolted with
steel columns, beams together are in it. A 6cm-thick layer of insulated board and a 9cm-thick layer
of insulated board are glued together with a polymer mortar outside of it. Labeled Plum Point, 1cm
layer of air middle of it, and stick steel columns and beams, wrap the steel columns and beams
inside completely.
Good overall load-bearing system. In the load-bearing structure of the system, the light steel
frame system which is processed in the factory adopts polymer materials which are of high
corrosion resistance for steel members embalmed. It is so quick and efficient, but also a good
solution to the corrosion problem of steel components. After the earthquake detection of Tsinghua
University, the house will be intact after the nine degrees earthquake. The exterior walls of mosaic

building systems are made of two layers of wall panels.AS steel components are embedded in the
inside, there is no thermal bridge structure.
The envelope system has good thermal performance.Double-wall can be combined into the
walls of different thermal performance according to the climate in different parts of the country. The
Fig.3 shows the double wall structure. The hollow walls which are of thermal convection and
convection will be combined in hot regions, to keep indoor cool; while it can be combined into a
composite insulated walls in cold areas. The thermal resistance of the walls is up to 1.58 ~ 3m2 • k /
w which is more than the insulation properties of two meters thick brick wall.

Fig.3 Double wall Fig.4 Roof panel system

Roofing system widely used combination plate.Fig.4shows single roof and double roofing
systemthe roof system, roof self-drilling self-tapping screws and roof purlins connection with M6,
purlins model is determined by the design staff in accordance with the roof load calculations, purlin
spacing should be less than 1500mm, install roof with self-drilling self-tapping screws should be
synchronized . Sutural roof stitching should be tamped special adhesive squeeze strict. In hot areas ,
you can use a different structure of the plate, with a layer of insulation panels inside , outside with a
layer of light hole plate . Solar radiation heat loss in the round hole plate .
Slab system for easy installation.In the floor system, you can use light hole plate. Lightweight hole
plate with lightweight, high strength, sound insulation, without mechanical construction , easy
installation and so on. You can choose different types of floor depending on the span. End of the
floor plate girder installation requirements lap length shall not be less than 50mm, precast slabs
should be embedded with the beam welding. Design uses a non-standard board, should be in
consultation with the manufacturer. Slab and beam connection is shown in Fig,5.

Main advantages of energy saving building

Energy efficient.ASA clean sheet production environment,product assembly line production,much
of the employment intensity of production process without waste emissions, are clean production
projects. After hundred years old recycled house demolition, crushing, after processing, can be re-
production of the new ASA board, no construction waste .Energy-saving building is shown in Fig.6.

Water Saving. As the use of ASA plate reinforced concrete retaining structure mosaic system
architecture , which belongs to the dry operation , assembly building , per square meter of water is
less than 30kg.
Materials. Production of this material , the use of fly ash 20,000 annually t, covering not only save
ash emissions and transportation costs, and reduce environmental pollution, no scrap in the
production process ; such architectural forms as compared to the traditional housing system You can
save 30% to 40 % of the steel.
Construction speed.ASA maintain structural steel components and boards are prefabricated in the
factory , on-site construction convenient , save labor, shorten the construction period for the brick
structure of 1/6.
Good corrosion resistance, long life. ASA mosaic mounting plate, the steel exposed steel wrapped
to avoid long-term exposure to oxygen, water, acid medium, blocking the steel components
corrosion conditions at the plate , the steel members also after a special anti-corrosion treatment,
good corrosion resistance .
Highlights the resource conservation, utilization and environmental protection. Production
ASA series of panels in more than 50% fly ash , slag can also add a variety of natural and industrial
waste . Both the utilization of waste can be recycled and reprocessed using , no construction waste,
can meet the " circular economy Sustainable development and environmental requirements.

Conclusions
ASA sheet architectural design in which the application of the method is already quite mature , can
be promoted and used. Especially in energy-efficient homes , eco- housing, the application of
environmental friendly materials, can greatly improve the energy consumption index of the building.
In light steel building systems , ASA board as the building envelope, can improve the performance
of the building from , sound insulation, heat insulation , seismic and other aspects, to improve the
life of the building.
