A UHPC, an exceptional material
5
A - UHPC, an exceptional material
Ultra high performance fibre-reinforced concrete is an exceptional construction material which possesses a
combination of technical and aesthetic qualities which are not generally found in concrete.
no framework required
resistance 10 x greater than that of traditional concrete in terms of compression / traction (180 Mpa/25Mpa)
extremely high resistance to abrasion and explosions
insensitivity to rust, aggressive environments, frost/thaws and UV
It offers outstanding freedom in terms of shape and texture both in architecture and design as well as a particularly
wide range of colours.
The qualities of fibre-reinforced concrete go h and in hand with the new architectural trends: pure lines, fineness,
emphasis on textures and mineral aspect.
The lack of passive frameworks makes it easier to create complex shapes with relatively thin items.
Thanks to its mineral aspect, its ability to reproduce textures faithfully and the wide range of available colours,
ultra high performance fibre-reinforced concrete has become the creative concrete par excellence.

2. Description
FClad® Cladding panel, is a cladding system consisting of Ultra-High Performance

Fibre-Reinforced Concrete implemented via clip feet on a grid of horizontal aluminium rails.
These rails are attached to a vertical frame of aluminium profiles, themselves joined onto the
load-bearing structure by adjustable bracket feet.
The clip-on brackets are attached to the panel using Keil inserts.
The system can be implemented with or without insulation. A ventilated air space is systematically
-formed in the back part of the panel to eliminate condensation effects and expel moisture.
They can therefore be easily integrated in an external thermal insulation system (ETI) as an effective
response to the new heat regulations.
The installation of ETI under mounted cladding involves creating an insulating envelope
around the building; this fulfils the following functions :
visual appearance of the building;

thermal and phonic insulation;
shock resistance, particularly on the ground floor;
imperviousness to air and water;
transferral of load from the exterior to the structure.

3. Sustainable development
The Building Environment Quality study (BEQ) reveals that concrete products offer the
best solution in terms of combining environmental performance, comfort, resistance and
construction costs.
Fibre-reinforced concrete products are « eco-efficient » materials which take into account the
environmental performance of the overall structure throughout its entire life cycle.
This solution is particularly relevant taking into account the ease of implementation of FClad®
Cladding panel. By using items which have been prefabricated in a factory and assembled on
site involving a limited number of operations, work on site is rationalised significantly, resulting
not only in an improvement in the direct environmental impact but also the enhancement of
the construction quality.
Thanks to the properties of the FClad® Cladding panel, greenhouse gas emissions and water
consumption are extremely low.
The FClad® Cladding panel is the only mineral material product which can be used to
create large, textured panels with M0 fire resistance (French legislation).

Greenhouse effet Production of waste
A life cycle analysis has been carried out on 3 types of cladding panel :
A. Ultra High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPC)
B. High Pressure Laminates (HPL)
C. Aluminium
Life cycle analysis (LCA)

The life cycle analysis was carried out on the cladding panel alone without taking the insulation
and structure into account. The results are expressed by m² of panel. The study was conducted
on an 8 storey reference building (the three solutions were intended to attain the same thermal
performances).

Comparison of environmental impacts
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Greenhouse gas emissions are very limited for UHPC Cladding panels com-
pared to those of HPL and Aluminium solutions (2 to 3 times lower.)
WATER CONSUMPTION
UHPC Cladding panels consume 6 times less water than HPL solutions and
3 times less than aluminium solutions.
PRODUCTION OF WASTE
The indicator is more favourable for the aluminium solution, thanks mainly
to its reduced weight (the recycling rates are comparable). The HPL solution
generates a large amount of waste, mainly in the production phase.

C- Attaching FClad® Cladding panels
The panels are attached by means of invisible attachements (clip on rails)
The attachment of the clips to the panels is done using a Keil KH-AA-10 insert from the manufacturer Keil Werkzeug-
fabrik, Karl Eischeid GmbH (DE-51766 Engelskirchen). A KH spacer is added to the panel surface.
The length of the Keil screw used is 19mm (M6*19).
A serrated washer is used between the clip and the screw.
The panel is perforated in the factory; inserts are fitted into the panel on-site, along with the screws.
The vertical profiles are aluminium.

The horizontal rails are attached to the vertical aluminium frame by two self-perforating screws made of A2.Ø5.5*25
stainless steel of Etanco PERFIX 3 TH8/ A2 Ø5.5 x 25 Stainless Steel type, with a characteristic tear resistance Pk
of 4300N in an aluminium base 3mm thick.
Other screws of identical dimensions and equal or superior mechanical characteristics may be used.

1. Metal frame
The frame profiles and attachment brackets along with their related attachments are directly procured by the
assembler, in accordance with the instructions in this document. Fehr Architectural can also provide all these
attachments on request.
The uprights are attached to the main structure via bracket feet.
The frame is to be braced with a maximum length of 3 m.
It consists of vertical profiles made by extrusion of 6060T5 aluminium alloy, 2.5 mm thick for the T-shaped
profiles and 3 mm thick for the L-shaped profiles, such as the T-shaped or corner profiles of the FACALU
system from ETANCO Ltd. Bearing surface width provided by the L-shaped uprights is at least 50 mm and
80 mm for the T-shaped uprights.
The centre distance of the bracket feet is calculated according to the mechanical characteristics of the
uprights and the pressure (loss of pressure) as per the amended NV 65 regulations.
2. Attachment feet
The feet are made of aluminium alloy (6060 T5), minimum thickness 3 mm and height 150mm, such as the
ISOLALU LR 150 brackets from Etanco Ltd.
The vertical aluminium profiles are attached through the aluminium square by two self-perforating screws
made of A2 Ø6*29 stainless steel of SFS Intec SX5-S(16)-5.5*33 type, with a characteristic tear resistant Pk of
2960N in an aluminium support 2.5 mm thick and 3870 N in an aluminium support of 3 mm.
Other screws with identical dimensions and equal or superior mechanical characteristics may be used.

General assembly principles
Layout must be planned beforehand. There is no particular direction of assembly, the panels can be
assembled either horizontally or vertically.
Assembly operations are done either from a scaffold, a rack-and-pinion platform, or a scissor lift.
For large panels the procurement and assembly are to be done by lifting beam with suction pad.
Assembly is done from the bottom upwards in successive horizontal rows, starting either from the right or the
left.

4. Attaching FClad® Cladding panel
The clips are attached to the panels using a Keil insert. Panels come cut out
and pre-perforated. The Keil inserts and spacers are installed on-site.
Thecentre distance of the attachments is equal to 800 mm maximum and

thedistance between the panel edge and an attachment is 200 mm.
The assembly method is as follows :

cleaning the insert using a blower or suction
fitting the Keil insert in the pre-perforations
fitting preslabs
fitting the clip
fitting the serrated washer
screwing the bolt with a maximum torque of 3N/m
The panel must then be mounted using the clips on the horizontal bars.
5. Treatment of joints
The standard components are arranged so as to leave vertical and horizontal
joints with a maximum width of 8 mm.

6. Ventilating the air space
An air space with a minimum thickness of 20 mm must be formed between

the insulation and the panel.
The ventilation of the air space must comply with the stipulations of the
CSTB 3316 specifications and amendment 3422 of the CSTB 3194 specifications.
Independently of the communication with the exterior at the joints between
panels or intermediate aprons, ventilation of the air space is provided by
openings at the base and the summit of structures formed for this purpose and
of a large enough cross-section, namely one of at least :
50 cm2/m for a structure height of ≤ 3m
65 cm2/m for a structure height of 3m to 6m
80 cm2/m for a structure height of 6 m to 10 m
100 cm2/m for a structure height of 10m to 18m
Where the cladding starts, the opening is protected by a profile with a perforated
core forming an anti-rodent barrier. In the upper part, the openin is protected by a
protruding part (for example, a coping or acroterion) forming a drip.
NB :
An air space of at least 20mm must be provided for between the
external face of the insulation and the internal face on the framework
plan in the case of an ETI.

Base
The base for receiving the mounted cladding system is made of pre-cast concrete in accordance
with DTU 23.1 and Eurocode 8 or on MOB wall in accordance with DTU 31.2 and Eurocode 8.
Attachments
Attachment to the concrete main structure is done by metal pins bearing the CE mark on the basis
of a European Technical Approval or European Technical Assessment as per ETAG 001 - Parts 2 to 5
(or EAD) with performance category C1 assessed as per Appendix E (or EAD).
When protected by insulation, the zinc-plated pins can be suitable for use in unpolluted rural, or
normal or severe urban and industrial outdoor atmospheres.
For other atmospheres, A4 stainless steel pins must be used.
These metal pins must withstand the stresses given in the table below.
Example of pins withstanding the stresses: FM753 Crack M10 (ATE 09/0056) pin from Friulsider,
a company of the Etanco group.
For configurations not included in this table, the stresses can be calculated as per the
CSTB 3725 specifications.

Primary frame
The components of the frame are in accordance with the stipulations of the CSTB 3194 specifications
and amendment 3586-V2.
The frame profiles, attachment brackets and also the related attachments, not provided by Lafarge Ltd,
are directly procured by the assembler, in accordance with the stipulations of this document.
The aluminium frame is to be braced of a length of up to 3 m.
The primary aluminium frame is composed of Façalu + medium profiles from Etanco Ltd, 6060 T5
aluminium profile, 3 mm thick.
The centre distance of the frameworks is 600mm maximum. The length of the uprights is limited to one
storey height and the latter are subdivided plumb with each board of the structure.
Each upright, the length of which is limited to one storey height, is attached to an assembly composed
of two ISOLALU LR150 brackets from Etanco Ltd, made of 6060T5 aluminium and 3mm thick, assembled
in pairs and in opposition. The minimum length of these brackets is 80mm and the maximum length is
200 mm.
These assemblies have a maximum spacing of 1 m.
The aluminium profiles are attached via the aluminium brackets by two self-perforating screws made
of A2 Ø6*29 stainless steel of SFS Intec SX5-S(16)-5.5*33 type, with a characteristic tear strength Pk of
3870N in an aluminium support 3mm thick.
Secondary frame
The centre distance of the inserts is 600mm maximum and the distance between the panel edge and
the attachment is 200mm.

Assembling FClad® Cladding panel with UHPC

Assembly is identical to that of the sheets currently in use. However, in order to avoid horizontal and/
or vertical movement of the panels, at least one third of the clips must be locked in place using a self-
perforating screw made of A2 Ø 5.5*25 stainless steel of Etanco PERFIX 3 TH8/ A2 Ø5.5 x 25 Stainless
steel type, with a characteristic tear strength Pk of 4300N in an aluminium support 3mm thick.
Other screws with identical dimensions and equal or superior mechanical characteristics may be used.
Assembling on MOB
Assembly is similar to that described previously in this document.
The lag screws must withstand the stresses given in Table A when they are directly attached to the base.
Example of a lag screw that withstands the stresses of the panel : · IG-T-6*L lag screw from SFS Intec
Ltd.

F Handling and maintenance
57
F - Handling and maintenance
Loading and unloading FClad® Cladding panels
FClad® Cladding panel, should be transported flat. The panels
are strapped together and the edges are protected to guarantee security.
The following rules must be respected during unloading :

• unload using a fork-lift truck and/or crane
• forks must be at least 2,300 mm apart, 4 forks are required
•- unloading cross-piece for the crane
• respect the loading distances

• prevent the pallets from oscillating during handling
• take the pallets one by one
• do not place the pallets on top of each other
Storing the FClad® Cladding panels
FClad® Cladding panel should be stored flat in a dry area. Do not place the
pallets on top of each other The panels must not be placed on their edges or
corners without suitable protection (firm polystyrene for example).
FClad® Cladding panel must be stored in areas which are protected against
adverse weather and UV and covered with an appropriate tarpaulin which is to
be removed just before assembly.
Handling the panels : appropriate equipment
The panels must be handled using clean gloves.

The FClad® Cladding panels are to be handled using suction pads (lifting beams with suction pads
or manual suction pads).

Handling FClad® Cladding panels
Lift the FClad® Cladding panel and turn them over carefully.
Do not pull them (they must not rub against one another).
Position them vertically on their edge ensuring that suitable

protection has been provided (polystyrene or carpet).
Make sure that the corners are protected when rotating the
panels.
In the case of manual transport, the panels should be handled vertically using clean gloves. Never
handle the panels horizontally as they could split. Avoid bending and oscillation as this could cause the
panels to break.
Cutting
FClad® Cladding panels are delivered to the site pre-drilled and cut to the required shape.
If the panels are to be cut, please follow the instructions below. The FEHR Architectural team remains
at your disposal should you have any questions.
Preparation of the working environment
Work on a dry surface at the correct height with protection in

case of rain.
Only mark out the sections on the areas to be cut.
Drilling :
Clean the panel carefully: use a vacuum cleaner to remove all
dust and a compressor to blow off all waste.
Caution: the drilling dust must be completely removed

immediately so that it does not damage the panel.
59
Cutting the FClad® panel
Stationary cutting : damp
Particularly suitable for complex cuts (oblique, rounded), water jet
cutting is accurate and simple.
Make sure that each panel is cleaned thoroughly with water after cut-
ting and dried properly. The panels must never be piled on top of one
another or kept in a damp place as this could damage their quality.
Cutting on site : dry

Use a circular saw with a guide rail (for example FEST-TOOL TS 55
EBQ-Plus-FS) and a splinter protection system.
Make sure that the visible part of the panel is facing upwards.
Use a diamond saw blade for a manual circular saw (e.g. Focus «Profi
Turbo» or equivalent, Ø150 mm, perforation diameter 22.5 mm, com-
pensating ring over 20 mm).
Cutting data: speed of approximately 6,500 1/min for Ø150 mm,
advancing approximately 2-3 m/min, cutting speed of approximately
50-60 m/s. Use a commercial jigsaw with a diamond plated saw blade
for cuts.
NB : the drilling dust must be completely removed immediately so

that it does not damage the panel.
Drilling
Through-holes
Use a stone bit, for example Bosch „Blue Granite“ Ø 8mm,
l = 120 mm or equivalent) or a special bit (for example from
Hufschmid Ltd) of Ø 8 mm.
Never use a hammer drill.
NB : the visible part of the panel must be facing upwards.

Before doing the marking, put adhesive tape on the drilling
point and make
the mark on the adhesive tape (in order to avoid any hard-to-
remove marks on the panel)
Drilling for expansion anchoring

In the case of re-drilling on site : use equipment and items supplied by the company Keil (bits, templates,
expansion plugs and screws).
Respect the manufacturer’s instructions :
- insertion depth: 10 mm.
- the panels must be turned so that the visible side is facing downwards
- Make sure that a carpet or other wedge is used to protect the panel and the work table.
NB : the drilling dust must be completely removed immediately so that it does not damage the panel.
Use a compressor to clean the plate around the drill and to blow away any remaining cutting and drilling dust.
60
Attachment with expansion anchoring
Recommendations :
A special drill should be used for expansion anchoring for redrilling on site, with expansion plugs Hs = 8.5
mm screws (length according to clip), gauge for inspecting the hole, compressor, torque wrench.
All the parts and equipment must be part of the same system and must be compatible (company Keil,
www.keil.eu).
The screw should be tightened with a torque of 2.50 to 4.00 Nm.
NB : excessively long screws would extend beyond the hole towards the front of the panel. If necessary,
place a soft rubber wedge
between the panels and the clip, following the frame, and adjust the panels with adjustment screws.
Attach one clip per panel on the supporting rail to create a fixed point.
Resumption of possible aesthetic defects on site

The majority of the possible aesthetic defects can be resumpted on site (detachment staining, cracking,
position of the inserts ...).
Cleaning the FClad® Cladding panels

Depending on the location of the building and constraints relating to pollution and dirt in
particular, the panels should be cleaned every 2 to 5 years by a specialised firm. A damaged
panel may be replaced.
Several surface treatments may be applied using protective products which are compatible with
the material :
• Damp-proofing: protection against efflorescence and dirt.

• Anti-graffiti : areas accessible to the public.
• Lacquer : customisation of the colour and shine.
Do not use chemicals

The panels must be cleaned with water using
a microfibre cloth.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners

Panels should never be stacked or stored wet,
as this may affect their quality.
