Abstract
Metal concrete form panels having a face sheet to which is attached a rearwardly extended perimeter flange. Stiffeners on the back side of the face panel are to the back side of the face sheet and are arranged so that pressure on the first of the face sheet induces a tensile force in the face stunt.

4. A metal concrete form panel as defined in claim 1, said stiffeners include at least a first pair of generally parallel, spaced-apart stiffeners.
5. A metal concrete form as defined in claim 4, wherein said stiffeners include at least a second pair of stiffeners transverse to the first pair of stiffeners.
6. A metal concrete form panel as defined in claim 1 wherein the cross section of the face sheet resists deflection substantially equally whit the cross section of the ribs.
7. A metal concrete form panel, comprising:
(a) a rectangular face sheet;
(b) a flange extended rearwardly of the face sheet around the perimeter of the face sheet;
(c) at least two spaced apart stiffeners transverse to a first pair of opposing sections of the flange and having opposite end portions secured to corresponding opposing section of the flange;
.:
(d) at least two spaced apart stiffeners transverse to a second pair of opposing sections of the flange and having opposite end portions secured to corresponding opposing section of the flange; and (e) the stiffeners are arranged around a central portion of the face sheet so that pressure on the front side of the face sheet induces a tensile force is the face sheet.
