Abstract: A structural panel is manufactured from at least two generally parallel and spaced-apart thin-shell cementitious skins that are joined by a truss matrix. The elements creating the truss matrix, being the truss, the face mesh, and the insulating core, are selected to meet the structural loads to be placed thereon. The thickness of each cementitious skin is selected to meet the structural loads to be placed thereon.

Abstract: Structural panels are provided which utilize commercially available components and a cost effective method of fabrication. The structural panels include commercially available trusses, fillers positioned between and aligned with the trusses and sandwiched to form a solid panel core, and commercially available wire mesh substantially covering opposing side surfaces of the panel core and attached to the trusses with wire to hold the panel core together. The trusses include generally parallel rods and wire bent around the rods in a zigzag configuration. The fillers may include a foamed filler such as solid foamed plastic or solid foamed glass. Alternatively, the filler may include a stabilized organic material. A commercially available lathing member may also be imbedded into the structural panel. The structural panels are fabricated by aligning the fillers and trusses in an alternating sequence. The alternating masonry reinforcement trusses and fillers are then pressed to form a panel core.
