Construction Period 05/2016 - 06/2017 The Utah Office and Warehouse building was constructed using EVG 3D panels for the walls, upper floor and roof systems. The roof panels are supported on arched steel trusses and bearing walls. The steel mesh reinforced insulated panels with shotcrete facing create a composite system that combines the structure, insulation and interior/exterior finished surfaces into one integrated product. Electrical and plumbing components were placed inside the panel units prior to placing the shotcrete surface layers. SCIA Engineer was utilized due to its adaptability for design with the EVG 3D panel system. The complex interaction of the composite structural panel, interconnected walls, floor and roof systems were best analysed using a three-dimensional finite element method. EVG 3D panel performance characteristics were modelled in SCIA Engineer using 2D member property modifiers for standard plates. Welded wire mesh reinforcement was easily entered. Design loading was applied to the structure manually and through the integrated wind force generator. The ACI design module identified locations where additional reinforcement was necessary.
