ABSTRACT:
The modular construction system includes a plurality of lightweight, load-bearing composite panels to be used in the walls, ceilings and/or roofs of buildings, as well as for partitions within a given building. Each panel includes sheet-like skins with a foamed plastic core therebetween. At each end of the panel is a structural unit that is fabricated from sheet stock, the structural unit including a transverse section having a longitudinal groove formed therein. When two panels are abutted in an end-to-end relationship, the grooves form a conduit for electrical wiring, communication lines and plumbing. Each structural unit also has a thermal barrier so that the structural unit is resistant to the transmission of heat therethrough. The panels are connected in their end-to-end relationship by means of interfitting lugs and slots on the structural units. Additional structural units extend across the top and bottom of each panel. The ends of the structural units are interconnected through the agency of additional lugs and slots to form a frame to which the skins are adhered and between which the formed plastic core material is introduced.
