  • Patent number: 10882213
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pre-fabricated element for construction and electricity production includes providing a formwork mould; introducing a photovoltaic module into the formwork mould, and for this purpose vertically positioning the photovoltaic module against or in replacement of one of the walls of the formwork mould, the front face of the at least one photovoltaic module being arranged so as to face an area of the space located outside the mould; depositing an adhesive structural material or a mixture of adhesive structural materials on all or part of the rear face of the at least one photovoltaic module arranged so as to face an area of the space located inside the mould, the adhesive structural material including at least one polymer from the epoxide, polyurethane, acrylic, or styrene-acrylic family, and pouring fresh concrete into the formwork mould so as to cover the adhesive structural material.

  • Publication number: 20200276729
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a concrete element having a functional layer, a rear side of the functional layer being bonded to the concrete element by an adhesive, the roughness of the rear side of the functional layer is increased by sand blasting, wherein the sand blasting is carried out for obtaining a surface roughness Ra of the rear side of the functional layer of between 1.5 ?m and 6 ?m.

  • Patent number: 9926234
    Abstract: A hydraulic binder includes, as percentage by mass: from 17 to 55% of a Portland cement, the particles of which have a D50 of from 2 ?m to 11 ?m; at least 5% of silica fume; from 36 to 70% of a mineral addition A1, the particles of which have a D50 of from 15 to 150 ?m; the sum of these percentages being from 80 to 100%; the sum of the percentages of cement and of silica fume being greater than 28%; the mineral addition A1 being selected from slags, pozzolanic additions or siliceous additions such as quartz, silico-calcareous mineral additions, calcareous additions such as calcium carbonate or mixtures thereof.
