Composite modular building panel
First Claim
1. A structural building panel comprising:
- (a) a single, monolithic, planar slab having a thickness and parallel inner and outer surfaces, said slab being formed primarily of cellular concrete unreinforced by conventional metal reinforcement members; and
(b) a pair of parallel linear members, each of said linear members having outer and inner opposed parallel edges, a web connecting said edges, and an outer flange at said outer edge extending substantially perpendicular to said web, said slab extending between said webs of said linear members, said outer edges and said outer flanges being embedded in said slab inwardly of said inner surface, and said outer surface of said slab being uninterrupted.

Abstract
A modular building panel comprising a single, monolithic, planar slab having a thickness and parallel inner and outer surfaces, the slab being formed primarily of cellular concrete and a pair of parallel linear members. Each of the linear members has outer and inner opposed parallel edges, a web connecting the edges, and an outer flange at the outer edge extending substantially perpendicular to the web. The slab extends between the webs of the outer side linear members, the outer edges and the outer flanges being embedded in the slab inwardly of its inner surface, and the outer surface of the slab being uninterrupted. The panel can additionally include at least one inner linear member intermediate and parallel to the outer side linear members. The outer edge, the outer flange, and at least part of the web of the at least one inner linear member are also embedded in the slab inwardly of its inner surface, and the inner surface of the slab is interrupted by the at least one linear member extending outwardly thereof. An insulation panel is positioned against the inner surface of the slab between pairs of adjacent linear members and is dimensioned to cover the inner surface of the slab between the pair of linear members.
