INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Technical Manual is to indicate the most suitable method to optimise the Emmedue building system during installation. Operator’s handbook These pages will enable the erection of buildings having standard features using panels and other elements that are normally employed in the Emmedue building system. Pag. 2 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 2.1. FUNDAMENTALS OF THE EMMEDUE SYSTEM The basis of the Emmedue construction system is based on a series of foam polystyrene panels and steel wire meshes, whose shape has been especially designed to apply structural plaster during panel installation. The aim is that of providing a system of industrialized modular panels that, besides requiring shorter erection time compared to the conventional systems, permit to copy with structural and load-bearing functions, offering in the same time a fast assembling and laying, high thermal and sound coefficients and a wide range of shapes and finishes that may be achieved during the building process. Operator’s handbook 2.2. COMPOSITION OF THE EMMEDUE PANELS The basic element is made as follows: A) A foam polystyrene core that is atoxic, self-extinguishing and chemically inert with varying density and thickness depending on panel type. B) Electrowelded steel wire meshes made of galvanised drawn steel wires placed on both sides of the polystyrene sheet and connected by means of joints of the same material. The wire gauge of the net varies according to panel type and mesh direction. 2.3. PLASTERING After the panel assembly, structural plaster should be sprayed and/or poured on the panel - depending on panel type. Pag. 3 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 2.4. ADVANTAGES OF THE EMMEDUE SYSTEM • High heat and sound insulation • Easy to move, rapid assembly and high durability • High structural capacity and resistance to earthquakes and hurricanes • No skilled labour is required • Lower costs and erection time • Lower foundations costs compared with traditional systems • Full utilisation within the same building system • Emmedue system well integrates with traditional systems • Highly fire-proof material • Easy and rapid installation of the plumbing, heating, electric, telepho- ne systems, etc. • Panels of customised length and thickness • Solid panel connection Operator’s handbook • Panel surface and Emmedue plastering machines are especially desi- gned for a smooth plaster spraying • Emmedue panels’ meshes also include connection flanges • The polystyrene core can avoid the thermal bridges • Emmedue panel does not change following exposure to weather conditions • Ecological in all its parts. Pag. 4 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 3. CLASSIFICATION OF THE EMMEDUE PRODUCTS The various types of Emmedue panels, their fields of application, standard sizes and complementary Emmedue products are described below. The thickness of the polystyrene sheets as well as the length of the panels may be customised, according to the different project requirements of the customers. Generally speaking, the thickness of panels is usually determined according to its different conditions of heat insulation and required structural behaviour. In the latter case, infact, a greater moment of inertia may be achieved by increasing the interval between the two concreted or plastered surfaces. Operator’s handbook As far as the degree of heat insulation of polystyrene is concerned, a finished panel of a 10-cm thickness with a 4-cm thick polystyrene core (density 15 kg/m3) corresponds to an ordinary brick wall 64-cm thick.

Operator’s handbook For the structural use of this panel, the polystyrene core should be at least 5 cm thick and an average quantity of plaster of about 3.5 cm (about 2.5 cm over the mesh) should be sprayed on each side having structural features of at least 250 daN/cm2 of compressive strength. This panel is generally used for buildings of no more than 4 storeys, also in seismic areas, for floor slabs and covering slabs whose spans are 4 m. at maximum. However, in such cases, the panel should be further reinforced with additional meshwork and a greater amount of concrete layer on the upper side - from 4 to 6 cm - in keeping with the calculations made.

The double panel PDME consists of two sheets facing one other and joined by steel pins keeping them at the distance established by the static requirements to be met. The space between them is filled with cast concrete having suitable resistance strength (the panel, besides as insulating element, once aligned and fastened, works as a disposable formwork).

I > 38 dB at 500 Hz (in frequency band between 100 and 3150 Hz) This type of panel enables the use of the Emmedue system for floors and roofs by inserting reinforced ribs in the special spaces and subsequent concrete casting on site. Infact the reinforcement of the panel is integrated during the panel assembly by the insertion of additional reinforcement bars – to be substantiated by calculations – inside the panel ribs. It is an ideal solution for floor slabs having spans up to 6.5 m. and overloading up to 400 daN/m2. Furthermore, where the assembly sequence needs to be maximised, as far as the erection schedule is concerned, it is possible to use iron stiffening ribs in the pods of the panel.

Suitable reinforced and finished with casting on site in the suitable spaces, it is used, for the construction of flight of stairs up to a maximum span of 6 m. having an accidental overload of 400 Kg/m². The additional reinforcement to be placed inside the holes is formed by a lattice of ribbed bars. Pag. 14 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 3.6 BRACING MESHWORKS Designed with 2.5-cm galvanized steel wire, these meshworks are used to reinforce openings and angle-joints between panels so to confer continuity to the structural mesh. They are fixed to the panel by joints or cramps. ANGULAR MESHWORK RG1: * reinforces angle-connections.

EMMEDUE PLASTER SPRAYERS FOR WALLS & CEILINGS The use of these devices easily enables a time saving by 50% and with no need for skilled labour. Thanks to Emmedue plaster sprayers, the plaster may be applied with a degree of adherence that could not be achieved manually. In one hour, one worker using a plaster sprayer with a continuous flow of material placed nearby can apply a plaster layer of about 1 cm. over an area of up to 60 sq.m. Emmedue plaster sprayers are available in two versions: W for walls and C for ceilings. Both models feature four holes for different types of plaster and come with all the necessary tools to clean the machine after use. User’s instructions 1. The air pressure should be kept constant within a 70-120 pound (500-800 kPa)range. 2. No special plastering-machines are needed and the panel to be plastered requires no previous preparation. 3. For the plaster to be applied to the wall, the container should be placed at a distance of 10-20 cm. 4. For the plaster to be applied to the ceiling, the upper edge of the container should almost touch the panel at a maximum distance of 2-3 cm. Plaster Sprayers Maintenance 1. During the usual interval between the application of two layers of plaster, we recommend to place the empty container in a bucket filled with water and make it work two or three times. 2. Remove lateral bolts and wash the inside of the machine at least once a week. Compressors: Operator’s handbook Either electrical or internal-combustion engine compressors may be used keeping in mind the following data: Engine power (HP) From 3 to 4 From 5 to 6 From 8 to 10 Air production (l/min) 350-400 600-700 900-1000 No. machines 1 From 2 to 3 From 3 to 4 Note 1: We recommend the use of high-pressure 1/2” hoses not exceeding 30 linear metres. Plaster sprayer for ceiling Note 2: When only one plastering-machine is used, the ideal cubic capacity of the compressor container is 220 litres (not lower than 130 litres, but with pressure regulator).

EMMEDUE HOUSE This chapter deals with the utilisation of Emmedue single panels PSME in the building walls and floors. 4.1.1. Foundations Operator’s handbook The work made with Emmedue Panels starts from the foundations. This might be a concrete bed, a raft foundations constituted by moderate dimension beams or a connection beam supported on piles. Such foundations should be sized up according to classical criteria keeping in mind the geomechanical characteristics of the ground. The recommended foundations provides for anchoring bars (corrugated iron) whose dimensions, quantity and length will depend on the degree of stress at the base of the panel (just like an indication, it could consist of bars ∅ 6 mm placed at 40 cm intervals 50 cm. above the level of the beam). Pag. 18 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.2. Assembly of PSM Single Panels for Walls At the beginning of assembly operations Emmedue panels are anchored to the foundations bars by pliers and steel wires. In order to guarantee the continuity among the elements, the Emmedue panels are equipped, on both sides, with an overlapping mesh wing that enables to join each panel to the mesh of the closer panel. Operator’s handbook During this stage, to achieve proper heat insulation, no empty spaces should be left between the joints of polystyrene cores. In addition, special attention should be paid to the panels being placed in a perfectly vertical position and well aligned so to avoid any possible structural weakness of the structure. During assembling the main openings for doors and balconies have to be considered as foreseen in the design. Minor openings might be obtained after assembling panels by using cutting instruments, such as circular saws, shears and even knives and pliers. Pag. 19 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.3. Bracing meshwork installation All the building internal and external edges, either vertical or horizontal, are reinforced with angular mesh (RG1), which gives the structural mesh greater continuity. RG1 RG1 RG1 RG1 Horizontal section Operator’s handbook The openings’ vertex are all braced, on both sides, thanks to the positioning of a flat meshwork (RG2) at 45° as to the edge to be reinforced. The window and door lintels, according to their lenght and the window sills whose span is longer than 1.20 m. can be integrated with additional reinforcements on both sides. Pag. 20 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM Operator’s handbook For the assembling of the frames, the polystyrene should be reduced in the areas of the fastening points in order to enable the correct insertion of the metallic clamps inside the panel meshes. Pag. 21 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.4. Installation of Single Panels for Coverings Basically, the same instructions as for the installation of vertical panels apply. The panels should be first joined together and then anchored to the wall by means of steel wire and/or meshes.These panels work as floor frames so that the panel wave runs along the shorter span of the area to be covered. The wall edges and angles, both interior and exterior, will be strengthened by RG1 bracing meshworks or any other reinforcements to be calculated each time. RG1 RG1 RG1 RG1 Operator’s handbook Vertical section Pag. 22 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.5. Installation of Emmedue staircase PSSCE This panel is ordinary used for the construction of flight of stairs till around 6 m. long having an accidental overload of 400 Kg/m². Operator’s handbook Once the stairs panel is assembled and the lattice is placed inside the panel internal channels, the latter are completed with gravel concrete (whose particle size is < 12 mm) and its minimum strength is Rck > 250 daN/cm2 The concrete may be cast in the panel ribs contemporaneously with casting of the upper coating. Successively, the plaster layer (2.5 cm. thick) is applied both on the lower face and on the sides of the flight while on its upper side the flooring (marble, ceramic tiles, etc.) can be directly laid on. an adhesive layer. This panel enables the erection of stairs of classic dimensions only. Nevertheless, it stands out for its easy installation and its especially light structural weight. Pag. 23 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.6. Laying of plumbing, electric installation and other systems Operator’s handbook The laying of the pipes for the plumbing and electric installation as well as heat system etc. has to be carried out after the complete assembling of the walls and before they are sprayed with concrete. The polystyrene is melted with a source of heat (hot-air gun or generator, etc.). Pipes, ducts and wires (electricity, water, gas, etc.) are easy and rapid to place under the metal mesh by simply making a chase in the polystyrene by means of a hot-air generator Pag. 24 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM The flexible pipes are easily placed under the meshwork, whereas rigid ones are placed after cutting the mesh. Then the meshwork area needs to be restored by means of an additional reinforcing mesh connected to the panel meshwork. Operator’s handbook Note: Copper pipes could be insulated from the panels steel meshwork with felt, PVC of similar materials. Pag. 25 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.1.7. Details of balconies and bow-windows Operator’s handbook The balconies can be executed by Emmedue floor panel PSSGE with additional anchoring bars being anchored to the floor. The quantity and the diameter of these bars depend on the length of the overhangs besides the overload to be substantiated during the project design. Later an upper slab of 4-5 cm will be casted and a 3cm-plaster layer on the lower side will be sprayed on. Pag. 26 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.2. Walls structural plaster 4.2.1. Features Emmedue panels are completed during their installation by applying cementsand structural plaster on both sides for an average thickness of 3 cm. The panel thus obtained will form a reinforced concrete slab with an expandedpolystyrene core. The resistance of these panels will be 250 daN/sq.cm, at least and the particles of the sand used for the concrete will measure between 0 and 5 mm. 4.2.2. Concrete mix design The cement-sand plaster used is dosed with a volumetric ratio of 1:4. Starting from the resistance curves obtained in relation to both the amounts of cement and plaster settling, it may be derived that Emmedue system concrete may be mixed with approx. 350 Kg of cement for each cubic meter of mixture. For each cubic meter, the dosage specified in weight for each of the materials in the mixture will be as follows: Operator’s handbook Cement Sand Water : : : 350 Kg (7 bags) 1.570 Kg 180 litres The quantity of water should vary according to the humidity of the aggregates. In any case the consistence, measured by the Abram’s cone, should be S2 (slump 5 cm). 4.2.3. Plastering of the walls Plaster should be applied by means of special plaster sprayers. It is essential that plaster is malleable and applied vigorously so as to remove the air between the underlying materials - polystyrene and plaster - and fresh plaster and thus obtain a compact and uniform surface. The maximum thickness of each layer should be approx. 1,5 cm while the layer of smooth plaster with fine sand, if required, should not exceed 5 mm. Plastering excessively large areas is a practice to be avoided. Pag. 27 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM Operator’s handbook Following the panels’ alignment and their vertical assemblying, the required bracing meshworks should be inserted while the meshworks previously cut to install the various systems should be restored - to confer greater continuity to the structure—and the additional reinforcement should be placed. At this stage, structural plastering operations may be started. On both sides of vertical panels a layer of structural plaster (Rck = 250 daN/cm²) should be sprayed for an average thickness of approx. 1.5 cm. The interval between the spraying of the first and second layer should be as short as possible so to avoid any possibile problem of adherence between the layers. During this phase, it is possible to plaster the part of the ceiling where it joins with the walls; this area should not be wider than 20 cm. On the second day, the screeds and posts used to align and erect panels may be removed, leaving only those at the weakest points, such as a panel between two openings and the like. Pag. 28 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.2.4. Finishing of the floors. A)Before casting the floor. Place posts and boards at 1.1-m. intervals, slightly increasing the height of posts at the centre of the floor slab. Panels hog should measure approximately 0.50 cm for every metre of span. B) In case the Emmedue single panels are emploied, before casting the slab, the first plaster application to the ceiling slab has to be carried out. C) Concrete casting of the ceiling slab. If the PSSE floors are emploied, the workers should take care to walk exclusively on the wooden bridge boards laying on the posts. Operator’s handbook D) The designer should verify the floor panel reinforcement and, if needed, should integrate it with additional reinforcement rods - to be substantiated by calculations—inside the panel ribs (see detail below). E) We recommend the use of concrete Rck= 250 daN/cm² whose maximum particlesize measures 12 cm for a thickness from 4 to 6 cm. Pag. 29 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM F) Once the ceiling slab concrete has reached the right cure degree, the posts should be removed starting from the centre outwards so as to gradually transfer the load to the floor slab. Subsequently, the unplastered areas left by the supporting boards may be completed. Both the ceiling and the overhangs are plastered in the same way as the walls. 4.2.5. Plaster cure A regular plaster cure process is crucial to obtain the necessary structural resistance of the elements. In order to avoid an excessive evaporation from the plaster layer, after the surface is completed, keep constantly wet the walls and the ceilings for at least 3 days from the application of the plaster layer or the casting execution. This procedure allows the completion of the natural hydration process of the cement by guaranteeing the cure of the plaster and reducing cracking due to shrinkage. In case chemical curing membranes are used, any possible adherence problems with either the other layers or finishing materials should be identified for the following laying of the plaster finishing. Operator’s handbook 4.2.6. Finishes Coverings should be laid on the plaster as late as possible. The longer the intervals between plaster cure and the laying of the coverings, the more will be plaster shrinkage. There will also be greater certainty that the covering will remain well adherent, and the remaining plaster micro-cracks will be more stable and will be covered with satisfactory aesthetic results. Considering the above, the surface is waterproofed, the ceiling slab is covered, the finishing works are carried out, window and door frames are installed, walls are painted and covered, etc. 4.2.7. Other indications • The plaster applied by the plaster sprayer is more compact and uniform and its shrinkage level is lower. Moreover, its structural capacity is improved and shows a higher waterproofing quality and durability. Pag. 30 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM Precautions Do not overload partition walls on one side only. Instead, plaster both sides alternatively. If a panel is cut during erection and its meshwork has no wire-crossing joints, panels may be joined with flat meshwork (min. width 22.5 cm); Additional plasticizer agents generally reduce the risk of cracks; Highly-flexible coverings or paints prevent the creation of cracks in the plaster; 4.2.9. Fixing objects to partition walls A. Lightweight objects: 25 mm. screws, pins or similar devices may be used. B. Heavy objects: (Shelves, water-tanks, WC, etc.). We recommend the use of plastic pins with 45-mm screws or similar devices. C. Very heavy objects: Operator’s handbook During erection, metal pins may be inserted in plaster pallets. Differently, a threaded pin fastened with epoxy resin may be used. Pag. 31 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.2.10. Emmedue house: an outline of the erection phases: 1. Foundations with reinforcing bars; 2.

WALLS ERECTED BY EMMEDUE DOUBLE PANELS PDME In buildings with more than four storeys, lower levels walls should be erected with Emmedue double panels and any possible additional steel reinforcement. After panels have been fastened, aligned and vertically installed, structural concrete made with cement, sand and gravel is cast inside them. Operator’s handbook In this way, not only the panels act as a real formwork, but they also offer solid reinforcement and optimal heat and sound insulation. Pag. 33 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM Once concrete is cast inside double panels and all the systems are installed in the same way as for single panels, both sides of panels are plastered. In this case, only one coat of plaster is needed - enough to cover the mesh, before applying the selected finish. 50 VERTICAL SECTION 50 VAR. 50 50 VAR. 50 25 25 RG1 RG1 25 RG1 25 50 VAR. 50 RG1 25 Operator’s handbook 25 VIEW Pag. 34 EMMEDUE BUILDING SYSTEM 4.4.

EMMEDUE PANELS USED AS PARTITION WALLS First of all, trace the outlines of the partitions on the ground as well as along the pillars and contact walls, if any. Take particular care with the horizontal and vertical lines (see picture at the right). Panels can be fastened with C-shaped metal profiles which should be as long as holes for each panel’s thickness, and fixed to the bar insertion support by means of a pneumatic riveter or with ø 6-8 mm. iron members approx. partition wall trace with additional internal line 50 cm. long. In this last case, the iron members should be previously stuck into the supporting structure to about 6 cm. with a sealing epoxy resin at a distance of 40 cm. from each other. Subsequently the iron members will be fixed to the meshes on both sides of the panel . In case of partitions or loads not covered by normal standards, the above indications should be verified. In case of a panel disjunction, an elastic membrane or a polystyrene strip bigger Reinforcing iron rod loose inside the hole than the panel thickness should be fixed to the panels before assembly so that the plaster does not stick to the elements Dilatation joint thickness= 2 cm where there should be a disjunction. In Bars ø6 at 40 cm interval this case, too, the iron members should be kept free inside their borings (see picture at the left). Plaster of cement and sand Expansion joints are generally advised in the case of walls longer than 6 m. or higher than one storey. Panels should be assembled preferably before making the subfloor.
