ABSTRACT:
A building panel module incorporating spaced inner and outer wall surfaces of metallic sheet construction to provide both longitudinal and transverse load carrying capabilities. The module includes interior baffles that are positioned between the inner and outer wall surfaces and that overlap each other to prevent direct pathways between the inner and outer wall surfaces so that ballistic projectiles that penetrate one wall surface must also pass through the baffles before impacting the other wall surfaces, thereby reducing their energy level to such an extent that they do not penetrate the innermost wall surface. Additionally, the module incorporates one or more integral I-beam elements that provide substantial longitudinal load carrying capacity, as well as providing resistance to transversely applied loads, such as wind loads, blast loads, and the like. The I-beam elements of the modules permit the inner and outer wall surfaces to be independently positioned so that, if desired, the innermost wall surfaces can be adapted to accept longitudinal or column-type loads, while the outermost surfaces can be specifically adapted to resist transverse external loads, thereby rendering the disclosed panel elements adaptable for a wide variety of structural applications, including applications to high-security type structures and uses.
