Abstract:
A structurally insulated-integrated building panel is provided that is suited for use as a floor, roof, or wall panel of a building. The structurally insulated-integrated building panel uses one formed-rigid skin, one cementatious or concrete-like skin, and a foam insulating core in a sandwich-like arrangement. Reinforcing members integrate the skins and the foam core. One edge of each reinforcing member is bonded to the formed-rigid skin with screw fasteners, welding or adhesives, the other edge is embedded in the cementatious skin, and the foam core is either formed around or adhesively bonded to the parts of the reinforcing member that remain exposed. The formed-rigid skin can be made of metal or reinforced resin composites, and includes formed ridges to regulate the location and facilitate bonding of the reinforcing members.
