Merrill, et al While with the above prior arts mentioned earlier has found acceptance, the techniques are costly and limited in terms of functionality when it comes to design criteria and multi-purpose utilization.
The new invention is a dimensional multi-purpose panel using recycled plastic and steel for concrete construction, which serves as a lightweight framework for pour-in-place concrete.
The novel invention can be utilized as a structural framework for walls, floors and roof, particularly in commercial building, as well as a protection for natural degradation of structural members exposed to weather such as columns and piers.
The new panel also allows different kinds of insulating materials including possibility of compacted rice hulls and blast proof insulation, which can be inserted in the ribs.
Today, integration of natural degradation and blast protection in buildings and structures in the design criteria of building and construction materials has been taken into consideration. Suggestions include considering incorporating internal damping into the structural system to absorb the blast, the use of symmetric reinforcement can increase the ultimate load capacity of the structure and to consider the use of wire mesh to reduce the incidence of flying fragments.

4 Another advantage of the novel invention is that it can be utilized as a framework to mitigate the effects of blast on structures including walls. This can be made possible by inserting blast proof insulation and spray concrete mixture on the panel to form a monolithic structure.
Conduit pipes for electrical wiring and heating coils for radiant heating can be installed in walls and floors prior to pouring or spraying of concrete, which is advantageous in terms of fire safety and comfort.
Since the new invention is a dimensional multi-purpose panel using recycled plastics and steel. Numerous advantages of plastics include resistance to chemicals, can be both thermal and electrical insulators and are very lightweight with varying degree of strength. Even in home construction, it helps to conserve energy wherein the same principle applies in refrigerators and air conditioners. Plastic parts and insulation have helped to improve their efficiency by 30- 50% since the early 1970s.
Recycled materials including steel-reinforcing bars also constitute to one of the construction industry's most environmentally friendly products, manufactured almost entirely from recycled materials and completely recyclable, with a high value in the recycling market. Producing reinforcing bars and steel wire from recycled steel results in dramatic power savings. Each year, in fact, making reinforcing bars from recycled steel rather than virgin feedstock saves enough energy to electrify roughly one-fifth of all US households.
Another component of the new invention is the welded wire fabrics or mesh wires, which are better and economic crack resistant with thinner wire and close spacing that serves most effectively in countering the non-load phenomena or strain induced stresses due to shrinkage and temperature changes. Savings of labour, time and bending of wire materials also contribute to economic aspect.

5 The current invention is directed towards a novel building for use in the construction industry comprising: (a) steel reinforcement assembly as first component (b) plastic assembly or core as the second component and (c) another steel reinforcement assembly as the third component.
Aside from the above advantages, this invention provides the elements and method thereby reducing cost, shortens the duration of construction, ease in installation, creates a livable, comfortable and safe built environment while it resolves some environmental issues and promotes sustainability.

EXAMPLES OF INTENDED USE OF THE INVENTION
An important advantage of the novel invention is its versatility as a building material as it can be utilized as a permanent formwork, as a framework for natural degradation and to mitigate the effect of blast on columns and piers particularly. This can be understood in the drawing Fig. 10 that is an illustrated isometric view of a concrete column C showing a portion of the panel 1, and reinforcing bars R
with stirrups S.
In constructing a reinforced concrete column, the vertical reinforcing bars are attached either by welding or tie wire to the foundation reinforcement after which the concrete mix will be poured into the footing or foundation, the stirrups or hoops will be installed and secured by welding or tie wire around the perimeter of the reinforcing bars after which the formwork is erected and secured properly so pouring of concrete for the column will be applied.
The same method is applied in construction of columns utilizing the new invention as a permanent formwork. Referring to Fig. 10, once panels 1 are erected, all corner joints are measured, cut and glued i.e. the plastic form backing joints, and all reinforcement assemblies are tied or spot weld, installation of all necessary insulation including may be blast proofing materials in the ribs 12 and 14 (Fig.2) of the new invention can be done after which concrete mix can be sprayed on the outer side of panel 1 to a desired thickness.

The transverse open web stud assembly 5 can be cut and oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal open web stud assembly 6 in order that plain steel wire 5a can be aligned and in contact with plain steel wire 6a of both transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6, respectively and can be joined by welding, as shown in Fig. 2. This process is applied in all transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6 welding connections except on both ends of the longitudinal open web studs 6. A continuous length of transverse open web studs 5 can be place and oriented perpendicularly to abut to one end of the longitudinal open web stud 6 and another continuous transverse open web stud 5 on the opposite end and all joints can be welded together.
(c) Once all transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6, respectively are cut in detail to correspond to the dimension of the plastic assembly 3 i.e.
length of transverse open web stud 5 will correspond to the width of the plastic assembly 3 and interconnected by welding. To complete the reinforcement component is by welding the wire mesh of equal dimension of the plastic form backing 8 as shown in Fig. 2 to all the joints of the transverse and longitudinal open web studs 5 and 6 assembly, respectively.
(d) The plastic component as shown in Fig. 2 comprising of plastic form backing 8 and plastic connector 9 can be obtained from thermoforming companies who can manufacture and pre assemble said plastic components based on specification and technical description provided. Another process is obtaining the plastic form backing 8 and plastic connectors 9 from thermoforming companies and assemble the two elements by gluing using high strength bonding solution. Placement of the plastic connector 9 can be oriented in a manner so that the base 9b (Fig. 5) is co-planar to the surface of the ribs 12 and 14 (Fig. 2) and the center of the clasp 9a will coincide with the center of the ribs 12 and 14 A curing time for the freshly applied concrete on the outer side of panel 1 may be 1 or 2 days before the final pouring of concrete mixture for the column can be done. This is one important advantage of the new invention, which also serves as an encasement or concrete confinement particularly in columns exposed to weather condition and above ground independent columns or piers.
Utilizing as a framework for concrete foundation wall particularly in residential basement construction is another important advantage of the new invention. Foundation basics include all foundation wall types need to sit on a footing that sits below the frost grade.
One type is the poured concrete foundation wall constructed by erecting forms on top of the footings, after which concrete mix is poured into. Once the concrete foundation walls have partially cured the forms are removed. After it has reached curing time the foundation is ready to be backfilled. But prior to backfilling of the exterior side of the foundation wall, the basement floor slab preferably should be poured with concrete, which adds backpressure to the foundation wall and footing.
The method of using the new invention as framework for poured in place concrete for foundation wall and floor slab includes erecting the panels once the footings are set. Dowel reinforcement should be placed perpendicular to the reinforcement of the footing and can be tied using tie wires before the spraying of the concrete mix is done. Dowel reinforcement means a steel rod or reinforcing bar embedded across the joint where two pieces of concrete join to strengthen and to prevent cracking.
The panel can be inserted on the dowel reinforcement and aligned with the footing to desired specification. The dowel reinforcement can be joined and tied with a tie wire to the reinforcement assembly of the panel.

This could be best understood in Fig. 11, which is an isometric view illustrating a concrete foundation wall and footing joint showing a portion of the panel 1.
The concrete wall W is joined with the footing F where the reinforcing bars R
of the footing being laid horizontally and dowel reinforcement D oriented vertically can be tied using tie wires to the reinforcement assembly of the panel 1.
Application method of concrete mix can be done by pneumatic machine or manually. The insulating materials I can be inserted into the ribs of panel 1 prior to the spraying of concrete mix. Any conduit pipes for electrical and heating coils can be embedded and tied to the reinforcement assembly of the new invention before the final pouring or spraying of concrete mix.1.
