ABSTRACT:
A pultrudable, fiber reinforced synthetic resin multiple purpose panel for cooling towers is provided of construction such that when a series of the panels are mounted in side-by-side relationship on supporting structure of the tower, they may be used to form either a deck or wall of the tower. Each of the panels has an elongated main panel section, and two longitudinally extending end sections which project from the main panel section in the same direction. A flange extending outwardly from the outer margin of one of the end sections is adapted to receive a series of self-tapping fasteners for securing each of the panel sections to the tower supporting structure. Means is provided on the panel sections for effecting an interlock between adjacent side-by-side panels to prevent movement between proximal end sections of the panel in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axes of the panels to thereby maintain adjacent main panel sections in generally parallel relationship when loads are imposed on the outer surfaces of the panels in a direction essentially normal thereto.
