Abstract

The invention comprises a product. The product comprises a foam insulating panel, the panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the foam insulating panel defines at least one recessed channel in the first primary surface, the at least one recessed channel being sized and shaped to provide a mold for a structural reinforcing member. The product also comprises a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface and filling the at least one recessed channel so as to provide a structural reinforcing member for the concrete panel. The product further comprises an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel. A method of making a composite reinforced insulated concrete structure is also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A roofing system comprising:
a foam insulating panel, the panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface, the concrete panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel, wherein the elongate anchor member has a definite length defined by a first end and an opposite second end and wherein the first end comprises a first enlarged portion flush with the second primary surface of the foam insulating panel and the second end is disposed between the first and second primary surfaces of the concrete panel;
at least one concrete reinforcing portion extending outwardly from the concrete panel into the foam insulating panel;
a layer of reinforcing material disposed on and attached to the second primary surface of the foam insulating panel by a roofing membrane primer material, wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing material is disposed between the first enlarged portion of the elongate anchor member and the second primary surface of the concrete panel; and
a roofing membrane disposed on the layer of reinforcing material.

2. The roofing system of claim 1 , wherein the roofing membrane is a fluid applied roofing membrane.

3. The roofing system of claim 2 , wherein the roofing membrane is a sheet of polymeric roofing membrane.

4. The roofing system of claim 3 , wherein the sheet of polymeric roofing membrane is made from ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polyolefin.

5. The roofing system of claim 3 , wherein the sheet of polymeric roofing membrane is made from thermoplastic polyolefin.

6. A roofing system comprising:
a foam insulating panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface, the concrete panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel, wherein the elongate anchor member has a first end and an opposite second end and wherein the first end comprises a flange extending radially outwardly and the second end of the elongate anchor member is disposed between the first and second primary surfaces of the concrete panel;
a layer of reinforcing material disposed on and attached to the second primary surface of the foam insulating panel by a polymeric material, wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing material is disposed between the first enlarged portion of the elongate anchor member and the second primary surface of the concrete panel; and
a layer of cementitious material disposed on the layer of reinforcing material; and
a first roofing membrane disposed on the layer of cementitious material.

7. The roofing system of claim 6 , wherein the first roofing membrane is a fluid applied roofing membrane.

8. The roofing system of claim 6 further comprising a second roofing membrane disposed on the first roofing membrane.

9. The roofing system of claim 8 , wherein the first and second roofing membranes are fluid applied roofing membranes.

10. The roofing system of claim 8 , wherein the second roofing membrane is a sheet of polymeric roofing material.

11. The roofing system of claim 10 , wherein the sheet of polymeric roofing material is made from ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polyolefin.

12. The roofing system of claim 10 , wherein the sheet of polymeric roofing material is made from thermoplastic polyolefin.

13. A roofing system comprising:
a foam insulating panel, the panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
a concrete panel formed on the first primary surface, the concrete panel having a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface;
an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel and extending from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the concrete panel, wherein the elongate anchor member has a first end and an opposite second end and wherein the first end comprises a flange extending radially outwardly and the second end of the elongate anchor member is disposed between the first and second primary surfaces of the concrete panel; and
a layer of reinforcing material disposed on and attached to the second primary surface of the foam insulating panel by a roofing membrane primer material, wherein at least a portion of the reinforcing material is disposed between the first enlarged portion of the elongate anchor member and the second primary surface of the concrete panel, wherein the layer of reinforcing material is discontinuous or a mesh;
a layer of cementitious material disposed on the layer of reinforcing material; and
a first roofing membrane disposed on the layer of cementitious material.
