ABSTRACT

With the diversification of architectural design, heavy-duty stone-look wood-grain exposed concrete cladding panels have been widely used in modern architecture due to their excellent aesthetics and structural performance. However, traditional cladding installation methods suffer from problems such as stress concentration at connection nodes, high installation accuracy requirements, high construction difficulty, and difficult post-construction maintenance when dealing with heavy-duty cladding panels. To address these issues, this paper proposes a rapid installation, fine-tuning, one-time molding construction method for heavy-duty stone-look wood-grain exposed concrete cladding panels. The technical principles, process flow, and application effects of this method in the second phase of the Grand Canal Museum in Beijing and Hangzhou are described in this journal. The results show that this method significantly improves the installation efficiency of the cladding panels, enhances structural stability, and effectively avoids tearing damage, demonstrating good application prospects and promotional value.
