Provided is a composite building panel including, in accordance with a preferred embodiment, a planar concrete slab portion at the front and a plurality of elongated frame members at the rear. Each frame member includes a first end and an opposite second end that define a length therebetween, and a front side and a rear side which define a width therebetween which is less than the length. The front side of each frame member is imbedded in the concrete slab portion along the entire length of the frame member, and the rear side of each frame member is oriented opposite from the concrete slab portion. The frame members are, in accordance with preferred embodiments, all oriented on one side of the concrete slab portion and function to reinforce the concrete slab portion; to define cavities therebetween for the installation of plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation; and to provide for the attachment of wallboard. Composite building panels are formed, for example, by attaching the frame members to one another to form a frame assembly which is suspended horizontally above a pouring pad by forms that bound the frame assembly. Uncured concrete is poured between the forms to a depth such that, along the lengths of the frame members, the first sides of the frame members are imbedded in the concrete and the second sides extend from the concrete. Composite panel systems include, for example, variously shaped composite building panels that are attached together to form, for example, a building. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly described, the present invention includes, in its most preferred embodiment, a new composite building panel and a method of making the new composite building panel.
The composite building panel preferably includes multifunction frame members having an elongated side imbedded into a concrete portion, and an elongated side extending from the concrete portion.
In one preferred embodiment, the composite building panel includes a front and a rear, and a planar concrete slab portion at the front and a plurality of multifunction frame members at the rear.
The frame members include a first end and an opposite second end that define a length therebetween.
The frame members also include a front side and a rear side which define a width therebetween.
The width is less than the length.
The front side of each frame member is imbedded in the concrete slab portion along the entire length of the frame member, and the rear side of each frame member is oriented opposite from the concrete slab portion.
The frame members function to reinforce the concrete slab portion due to the fact that they are partially imbedded therein.
Also, the frame members define cavities therebetween.
The cavities function to provide for the installation of plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation therein.
The frame members also provide for the attachment of wallboard thereto such that the cavities are covered.
Composite building panels of various shapes and sizes, and including, for example, window and door openings, are within the scope of the present invention.
Composite panel systems include composite building panels that are attached together to form, for example, a building.
The composite building panels are attached by attaching a frame member at the edge of one composite building panel to a frame member at the edge of another composite building panel.
Composite building panels are formed, for example, by first appropriately attaching frame members to one another to form a frame assembly.
The frame assembly is suspended horizontally above a pouring pad by forms that bound the frame assembly
