Building panel and buildings made therefrom
First Claim
1. A rectilinear composite load-bearing building panel for building structural load-bearing walls of permanent buildings, having a pair of opposed faces, a top surface, a pair of opposed sides and a bottom surface, the panel comprising a pair of spaced-apart rigid face boards of thermally non-conductive, fire resistant material, a rigid insulating material sandwiched between, and adhering to the face boards to form a composite structure capable of withstanding compressive forces between the top surface and the bottom surface of at least 5 kN per meter length of the panel, connecting means secured to the pair of the face boards and connecting the face boards together to resist relative movement between the face boards in the plane of the panel and out of the plane of the panel and wherein the opposed sides each have a profiled shape for mating with a correspondingly profiled side of an adjacent panel and wherein the sides have securing means for securing them to sides of adjacent panels.

Abstract
A rectilinear composite building panel having a pair of opposed faces, and a pair of opposed sides, the panel comprising a pair of spaced-apart rigid face sheets (56), a rigid insulating material (58) sandwiched between, and adhering to, the face sheets, connecting means (60) connecting the face sheets together to resist relative movement between the face sheets in the plane of the panel and out of the plane of the panel; the opposed sides (66,70) each have a profiled shape for mating with a correspondingly profiled side of an adjacent panel; each side (66,70) has means (72,74) for securing, or being secured to, a side of an adjacent panel of the same general construction. The panels can be easily assembled together to form a fire-resistant multi-story building.
