The panels are asymmetrical about one axis, and are designed to be directionally positioned with respect to the maximum anticipated shear force. The panel components interconnect to form frameless panel sections out of which the building system is constructed, which requires no exterior framing support members. The panel component and the resultant panel sections resist all three primary directions of force required of structural wall, roof and floor systems; the panel sections being yet stronger than the individual panel components. The panel sections can be used to construct structural walls, floors, ceilings and roofs to form complete building structures, or alternatively, conventional flooring and/or ceiling and/or roof materials may be combined with the interconnected frameless wall panel sections to form complete building structures.Field of SearchBeam (e.g., girder, joist, etc.)Sandwich or hollow with sheet-like facing members With joining means of dissimilar material and separate from unit Block type or modular panel type Nonporous exterior faces Barrier construction U-shaped channel overlaps panel edge and major faces Walls of modular construction Exterior faces Core Stonelike type (e.g., concrete, masonry) shell Shell having end interfitting means | |
