Abstract

A reusable panel system for the construction of load bearing surfaces, such as temporary or semi-permanent roadways and equipment support and work surfaces laid out over geologically unstable surfaces or over wet-land marshes. The individual panels of the present invention may interlock on one or more sides to form stable and continuous load bearing surfaces.

Claims (20)

1. A load bearing structure comprising:
a panel having an upper and a lower surface and at least three sides, at least one of the sides includes a wedge-shaped edge;
a rigid honeycomb core between the upper and lower surface, a continuous layer surrounding the honeycomb core; and one or more connector means located on at least one side of the panel.
2. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rigid honeycomb core is substantially hollow.
3. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 2, wherein the rigid honeycomb core is comprised of a substantially plastic composition.
4. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 3, wherein the substantially plastic composition is polypropylene thermoplastic.
5. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rigid honeycomb core is made from material selected from a group consisting of plastic materials, foam materials, metal, resin reinforced paper, fiberglass, and wood.
6. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the substantially continuous layer is comprised of reinforcing fibers.
7. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 5, wherein the reinforcing fibers are selected from a group consisting of fiberglass, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, UHMW PE
(Spectra), polypropylene, metal fibers and any combination thereof.
8. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein at least two adjacent sides of the panel each comprise a wedge-shaped edge.
9. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 7, wherein one wedge-shaped edge descends from the top to the bottom of the panel, and the adjacent wedge-shaped edge ascends from the bottom to the top of the panel.
10. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 8, wherein the connector means are located on each side of the panel that comprises a wedge-shaped edge.
11. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 9, wherein the connector means are selected from a group consisting of apertures, screw fastener, a removable rivet, a clip, a buckle, a clasp, a clamp, a brace, a grip, a bolt, a screw, a lock, a nail, and hook and loop fasteners.
12. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the connector means are located on the side of the panel with the wedge-shaped edge.
13. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 12, wherein the connector means are selected from a group consisting of an aperture, a screw fastener, a removable rivet, a clip, a buckle, a clasp, a clamp, a brace, a grip, a bolt, a screw, a lock, a nail, and hook and loop fasteners.
14. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 1, wherein the substantially continuous layer is coated with a coating selected from a group consisting of slip-resistant coatings, chemical resistant coatings, fire resistant coatings, color coatings, anti-static coatings, and any combination thereof.
15. A load bearing structure comprising:

a panel having an upper surface and a lower surface, and side edges surrounding and extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, at least two adjacent sides of the panel form a wedge-shaped edge;
a substantially hollow honeycomb core between the upper and lower surface formed of a substantially plastic composition;
a continuous surrounding layer including reinforcing fibers selected from a group consisting of fiberglass, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, UHMW PE (Spectra), polypropylene, metal fibers and any combination thereof; and one or more connector means located on each side of the panel on the wedge-shaped edges.
16. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 14, wherein each side of the panel comprises a wedge-shaped edge and wherein one wedge-shaped edge descends from the top to the bottom of the panel and an adjacent wedge-shaped edge ascends from the bottom to the top of the panel.
17. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 16 wherein at least one stress-strain sensor is coupled to the panel.
18. A load bearing structure comprising:
a panel having an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper and lower surfaces are offset relative to one another such that the upper surface forms a lower peripheral extension and the lower surface forms an upper peripheral extension and wherein the panel is surrounded by a substantially continuous layer;
a substantially hollow rigid honeycomb core between the upper and lower surface;
and one or more connector means located on at least one side of the panel.
19. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 18, wherein the substantially hollow rigid honeycomb core is comprised of a substantially plastic composition.
20. The load bearing structure as set forth in claim 18, wherein the substantially continuous layer is comprised of reinforcing fibers selected from a group consisting of fiberglass, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, UHMW PE (Spectra), polypropylene, metal fibers and any combination thereof.
