Abstract
Abstract A structural panel is disclosed having a core comprising a plurality of recesses or tubular-shaped passageways formed of web material which open onto opposite sides of the core. A first layer of woven material is positioned adjacent the openings on one side of the core and a second layer of woven material is positioned adjacent the openings on the other side of the core. A covering of cementatious material completely surrounds the core partially filling the recesses or tubular-shaped passageways to form the panel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A lightweight, rigid, structural panel of cementatious material comprising: a. a core consisting of webbed material having a plurality of open-ended, separate tubular recesses of substantially equal height, a layer of very fine mesh reinforcing material adjacent to and covering one end of said recesses, said fine mesh material having a mesh on the order of ten per linear inch to insure the passage therethRough of only a sufficient amount of said cementatious material into said recesses to secure said layer of fine mesh material to said core, and a layer of coarse mesh material adjacent and covering the other end of said recesses, said coarse mesh material having a mesh on the order of four per linear inch to insure the ready passage therethrough of a greater amount of said cementatious material into said recesses than said first layer to secure said permeable material to said core, and b. cementatious material covering said fine and coarse mesh material and said entire core to form a monolithic panel, said layers of fine and coarse mesh reinforcing material, when secured to said webbed material by said cementatious material, serve to prevent said panel from flexing under applied loads.
