ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a lightweight, insulating panel building component comprised of a combination of a rigid insulation core in a composite structure with a plurality of structural materials, preferably steel. The steel members form a perimeter about the rigid insulation core providing structural strength, particularly taken in combination with the compressive strength of the core and the tensional and compressive strength of the structural members. These structural members include vertical members which provide support in compression, a cap member, a foot member, and optional external and interior facing. The cap and foot members are preferably in the form of a standard channel having a web dimension that is substantially similar to the thickness of the rigid insulation core and can fit thereabout at the periphery thereof.
Vertical members are fabricated using a ledge channel cross-section, also having a web dimension substantially similar to the thickness of the rigid insulation core and flanges of sufficient dimension for the purpose presently described. At the ends of the flanges are ledges which are disposed in engaging relationship and obedience to grooves in the rigid insulation core. The ledges are disposed in engaging relationship with said grooves to form a structure that exceeds the strength of both the steel and the rigid insulation core producing integral composite columns. The structural members forming the perimeter about the rigid insulation core are attached to each other using conventional fastening means such as by welding, or using screws or the like.
