Abstract: A method for interlocking building panels that have a channel integrally formed in and substantially coextensive with each panel edge so that abutting panel edges form a generally vertical joint post channel and adjacent panel edges form a generally horizontal beam channel, atop a poured foundation or other supporting structure to fabricate a building wall, which includes the steps of: placing into the supporting structure at the point on the supporting structure where the joint post channels are formed between abutting panels, a first rebar that extends at least partially into the joint post channel; inserting a second rebar into the joint post channel so that a first end is juxtaposed with the extending end of the first rebar, and a second, opposite end extends from the joint post channel; bending the second, extending end of the second rebar so that once bent, it lies in the generally horizontal beam channel intersecting with the joint post channel; and, filling both the generally vertical joint post chann

Abstract: A molded composite construction panel formed in a vertically oriented continuous molding procedure included a lightweight cellular core of rigid foam material and a relatively thin skin of fiber reinforced concrete encasing the core. The panel further including at least one integrally formed multi-faceted channel being substantially coextensive with at least one edge of the panel. A method of forming a building panel is also disclosed comprising the steps of providing a mold having a mold cavity, disposed vertically, that defines the mold surface for forming the exposed finish surfaces of a molded wall panel, where the mold cavity bottom and side edge walls define the edge walls of the molded wall panel. A foam insert is positioned and secured in the mold cavity. A slurry of concrete, sand, and fiber strands is formed to produce a homogeneous panel mixture. The mold cavity is filled with the panel mixture.
