Abstract A concrete plate assembly, e.g. as load carrying members or for building facades, comprises an inner concrete slab, an outer concrete slab spaced from the inner slab, and at least one main or stress-absorbing anchor embedded and interconnecting the slabs which are reinforced. The intervening space can be filled with an insulation and/or can constitute an insulating air space. According to the invention, at least one of the concrete slabs in the region of the connecting anchor, is provided with a closed reinforcing ring which lies in the plane of the slab, preferably midway of the cross section thereof, the anchor being embedded in the concrete within the reinforcing ring and preferably centrally thereof.
A composite panel comprising: a first reinforced concrete slab formed with a planar reinforcing array; a second reinforced concrete slab coextensive with said first slab but spaced therefrom and having a respective planar reinforcing array; at least one load-carrying tubular main anchor embedded in the concrete of each of said slabs and traversing the space between said slab; and at least one convoluted wire reinforcing ring embedded in the concrete of one of said slabs and having a ring plane lying in the plane of said one of said slabs and spacedly surrounding said main anchor upon vibrating of said main anchor into said ring, the convolutions of said ring lying transverse to said ring plane.
