ABSTRACT:
A panel assembly for constructing a building, comprising a plurality of panel elements in juxtaposed relation. The panel elements are generally rectangular and have peripheral rims and a flange extending from each of a pair of opposed sides of the rims. The panel elements have a lightweight core of hard plastic foam with a fiber glass reinforced resin covering and reinforcement rods (e.g. at the corners of the panel element) embedded in the resin and bonded to the core and the covering. An apertured reinforcing plate is preferably welded to each of a pair of adjacent reinforcement rods on a panel element. A stud bolt secures a panel element to a juxtaposed panel element or another structural member, e.g., on the foundation, and is tightened on the reinforcing plate. The reinforcing plate is in the rim or on the flanges. When joining two juxtaposed panel elements a single stud bolt secures a pair of reinforcing members together. The bolts are accommodated in cavities in the panel elements and sealed off with plugs also of hard foam.
