Joints of Coal Gangue Wallboards in Steel Structure Housing

Abstract

In this paper, according to some relevant requirements on construction and normal use of wallboards in steel structure housing, the coal gangue wallboard is taken as a research subject and a new joint idea is presented. Floor slab bears the wallboards’ dead load directly, meanwhile, components at the wall opening edge and wall studs are not to be needed. A series of problems on external wallboards—lifting, installing and adjusting, fixing, splicing and joint seams have been studied. Through these studies, the method of coal gangue wallboards’ joints was obtained and this method is fit to fabricating of the steel structure housing. In addition, the research results of this paper can be used in the application of other pre fabricated wallboards in the steel structure housing.
