SterlingWall® Introduction
What is Sterlingwall®
Sterlingwall® is a revolutionary panelised building system that provides an exciting and
competitive alternative to conventional wall construction. The panels act as formwork and
are sacrificed when they are filled with concrete. The “fibre cement sheet or other wall
boards then act as a clean and smooth exterior or internal surface ready for finishing.
Sterlingwall® panels are formed by sandwiching plastic H‐section studs between fibre
cement
sheets
or
other
suitable
wall
board
materials.
These
fabricated
panels
function
essentially as permanent formwork for the concrete which is used to fill the void between
the wall boards. The H‐section studs accurately locate the vertical and horizontal reinforcing
bars to ensure correct concrete coverage of the reinforcement bars
Additional load bearing capacity can be obtained where necessary by inserting additional
reinforcing into the panel. These requirements will be determined by the structural
engineer’s design.
The standard width Sterlingwall® panels are 1200mm and the height can vary according the
sheet sizes available from the suppliers of the wall board materials . Sterlingwall® panels
can be easily cut to size on site to suit any building design but planning the building with the
standard width panels in mind from the outset provides significant efficiencies. Openings
for doors and windows should be planned for modular construction. Where required
specific panel sizes can be manufactured.
The standard thickness of the concrete core for the Sterlingwall® panels are 100mm, ,
150mm and 200mm . the overall thickness of the panels depends on the thickness of the
wall
board
material
used.
Typical
materials
used
are
6mm
thick
Fibre
cement
sheets
of
40mm PIR insulation boards.
The concrete wall created using this process complies with the concrete code pertaining to
vertical concrete slabs.

1.7 Example plan
Sterling Building Systems provides a detailed plans showing the position of all the panels
supplied. Refer to the following illustration for an example.
The SterlingWall® panel system is based on standard panel width of 1200mm. Other panels
are supplied to suit wall length requirements and the position of openings.
Lintel and sill panels are manufactured to project specifications. Lintel and sill panels, for
example, with a height not exceeding 1200mm can be supplied up to 3600mm in width.
Corner panels are made to project specifications. All corners are supplied as separate
closing pieces.

2. Reinforcement
The steel reinforcement for the walls should be according to the engineering specifications for each
individual project.
For walls not subject to racking (shear) forces, N12 starter bars should be provided at the ends of walls, the
side of
openings
and
at
not
more
than
0.675
m
spacing
along
the
wall.
For walls subject to racking (shear) forces, starter bars of the same size and spacing as the vertical
reinforcement should be provided.
Starter bars may be either cast in the slab or added later by drilling the slab and chem‐setting the
starter bars in place. The starter bars should be off ‐set to avoid interfering with the placing of the main wall
reinforcement.
All walls
are
to
have
a single
layer
of
reinforcement,
however
if required,
the
STW
‐212
wall
may
have
two
layers of reinforcement.

Sterlingwall Introduction 9 | P a g e
For single‐layer reinforcement, the horizontal bars are placed first by sliding from an end or corner on the
plastic stud joiners (which are at 200 mm centres). The vertical bars, assisted by a slight crank on the end, are
threaded from
the
top
such
that
they
weave
in
and
out
of
the
horizontal
reinforcement.
Each
alternate
vertical
bar is placed on the opposite side of the horizontal bar to form a ‘basket weave’ which holds the bars in place
during concreting.
In the case of two‐layer reinforcement, the horizontal bars are again placed first, sitting on the outer indents of
the stud joiner, Figure 2.2. The vertical reinforcement is connected together with bar clips and dropped in
between the horizontal bars and tied at the top.
3.Concrete
The recommended concrete used to fill the SterlingWall® panel should have a strength of at
least 25 Mpa. Higher strengths may be used where increased strength or durability is
required. It is recommended that the maximum aggregate size is 7‐8mm and that the slump
at pouring is between 180±30. The specification of the concrete remains the responsibility
of the project engineer.
1. Concrete is to be placed by a concrete pump with a maximum 50mm delivery line.
2. Ensure that adequate scaffolding is in place to allow the concrete to be pumped
continuously while moving around the walls to miminise stop starting of the pump
3. Order concrete to meet the engineer’s specification arrives on site at a slump of
between 180±30. Slump should be minimum possible but sufficient to flow freely and
to fill voids and allow flow around steel and services
4. It is recommended that panels be filled progressively in layers of approximately
600mm high. Ensure the concrete does not block voids in the bond beam and restrict
flow in consecutive pours
5. During pour, ensure no voids are left in walls. This can be achieved by tapping panel
and listening for hollow sound. Tapping with rubber mallets is recommend to “move”
concrete throughout the panel.
6. Screed top of walls or openings flush with top edges of fibre cement sheet.
7. After topping up walls it is important to remove all split concrete and clean it off on
walls and floors before it set.

show
the
axial
compression
capacity
of
the
100mm
thick
walls
for
the

The first table is based on an effective wall height of 75% and the second table is based on the full 100% wall height and it
is at the discretion of the structural engineer to select the most appropriate case for any particular project.
The wall for the continuous floor span (i.e midwall) are based on a loading eccentricity of 5% and for walls supporting a
non‐continuous floor span (endwalls) are based on 16.7% loading eccentricity
For example, a 2.7m high endwall which is 100mm thick which has been deemed by a structural engineer to be of 75%
effective height and with a concrete grade of 32MPa, will have an axial capacity of 705kN per lineal metre.

The "Design axial strength of wall" tables show the axial compression capacity of the 200mm thick walls for the standard
concrete strengths.
The first table is based on an effective wall height of 75% and the second table is based on the full 100% wall height and it
is at the discretion of the structural engineer to select the most appropriate case for any particular project.
The wall for the continuous floor span (i.e midwall) are based on a loading eccentricity of 5% and for walls supporting a
non‐continuous floor span (endwalls) are based on 16.7% loading eccentricity
For example, a 2.7m high endwall which is 200mm thick which has been deemed by a structural engineer to be of 75%
effective height and with a concrete grade of 32MPa, will have an axial capacity of 1653kN per lineal metre.

GENERAL NOTES:
The "Design flexural capacity of wall" table shows the ultimate lateral pressure that the walls can withstand based on wall height and the concrete strength grade.
For example, a 4.5m wall that is 100mm thick and poured with 40MPa concrete can withstand lateral pressures of up to 0.62kPa

GENERAL
NOTES:
The sterling panel wall table shows the generic no. of floor levels that can be
supported for both mid and endwalls at the typical wall heights of 2.5m, 2.8m,
3.0m & 3.6m and for each of the available wall thicknesses.
For example, a 3.6m endwall that is 150mm thick in a building utilising 200mm for K=0.75
slabs can nominally support 11 levels of floor loading.
