Hybrid insulating reinforced concrete system

Abstract

Hybrid Insulating Reinforced Concrete according to the present disclosure may be designed to create insulating reinforced concrete large-scale construction components for use in commercial, industrial and residential structures. Hybrid Insulating Reinforced Concrete meets those needs by providing an insulating reinforced concrete component that can either be: (1) cast-in-place at the job site, (2) pre-cast at a plant and shipped to the jobsite, or (3) a combination of the two techniques—utilize pre-cast insulating element trucked to the construction site and complete fabrication of the large-scale construction components on-site. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

1 . A hybrid concrete panel comprising: 
 an insulating concrete panel having pores on a first surface; and    a reinforcing concrete panel forming cement fingers on a first surface, the cement fingers interlocking the pores of the first surface of the insulation concrete panel.    
   
   
       2 . The hybrid concrete panel of  claim 1  wherein the insulating concrete panel further comprises polystyrene.  
   
   
       3 . The hybrid concrete panel of  claim 1  wherein the reinforcing concrete panel further comprises a plurality of reinforcing elements.  
   
   
       4 . The hybrid concrete panel of  claim 1  wherein the insulating concrete panel and the reinforcing concrete panel are generally planar.  
   
   
       5 . A hybrid concrete panel comprising: 
 a first insulating concrete panel having pores on a first surface;    a second insulating concrete panel having pores on a first surface; and    a reinforcing concrete panel forming cement fingers on a first surface and a second surface, the cement fingers of the first surface interlocking the pores of the first surface of the first insulating concrete panel, and the cement fingers of the second surface interlocking the pores of the first surface of the second insulating concrete panel.    
   
   
       6 . The hybrid concrete panel of  claim 5  wherein the first and second insulating concrete panels and the reinforcing concrete panel are generally planar.
