Composite structural steel wall reinforced with concrete and mold therefor
First Claim
1. A composite structural steel wall reinforced with concrete, said wall comprising a corrugated steel sheet defining a plurality of integrally formed, alternately inverted, spaced ridges;
- said ridges on opposed sides of said sheet being separated by troughs defined by a rear face of said ridges on an opposite one of said sides and an integrally formed side wall of opposed ridges on a common side, said side walls having openings therein, at least some Of said openings in each said steel walls being aligned with one another to receive reinforcing steel elements, a first wall structure secured to at least some of said ridges on one of said opposed sides of said corrugated steel sheet and extending entirely thereover, a second wall structure secured to at least some of said ridges on the other of said opposed sides of said corrugated steel sheet and also extending entirely thereover, said first and second wall structures forming at least an integral part of the finished wall surfaces and being spaced apart and interconnected substantially parallel to one another by said corrugated steel sheet whereby to constitute a form to receive concrete from a top end thereof to form said wall, said holes permitting the flow of said concrete between adjacent troughs, said first wall structure being an internal vertical wall structure of a room of a building structure, said second wall structure is an integral part of an outer vertical wall structure of said building structure.

Abstract
A composite structural steel wall reinforced with concrete and a form system is described herein. The wall comprises a corrugated steel sheet defining a plurality of integrally formed, alternately inverted, spaced ridges. The ridges extend on opposed sides of the sheet and are separated by troughs defined by a rear face of the ridges on an opposite one of the sides and an integrally formed side wall of opposed ridges on a common side of the sheet. The side walls have openings therein. A first wall structure is secured to at least some of the ridges on one of the opposed sides of the corrugated steel sheet. A second wall structure is secured to at least some of the ridges on the other of the opposed sides of the corrugated steel sheet. The first and second wall structures form at least an integral part of the finished wall surfaces and are spaced apart and interconnected substantially parallel to one another by the corrugated steel sheet whereby to constitute a form to receive concrete from a top end thereof to form the structural steel wall reinforced with concrete.
