- elongated male and female connecting members 40 , 50 are cooperatively profiled to mate with each other so that the universal structural steel panels 20 are joined together in a substantially continuous plane with the exterior surfaces 22 being generally flush with each other.
- Elongated male connecting member 40 includes a web 42 having a generally V-shape configuration.
- First and second legs 44 , 46 are integrally connected to opposite end portions of the V-shaped web 42 and extend outwardly thereof in a substantially parallel relationship to each other.
- elongated female connecting member 50 includes a web 52 having a generally V-shape configuration with first and second legs 54 , 56 integrally connected to opposite end portions and extending outwardly thereof in a substantially parallel relationship to each other. Legs 54 and 44 are integrally connected to first and second side edge portions 30 and 32 , respectively.
- FIG. 14 shows the method of making the universal structural steel panels 20 according to the present invention.
- the panel fabricating system 200 for fabricating the universal structural steel panels 20 includes an uncoiler 210 , a flattener and slitter 212 , a pre-punch/press die 214 , a roll former machine 216 , a cut-off machine 218 , and a run-out and discharge conveyor systems 220 .
- the panel fabricating system 200 is automated and the plurality of rollers 224 are designed and configured to form the panel 20 , as described above, from a substantially continuous sheet of steel.
- steel 222 is uncoiled from a roll of steel by the uncoiler 210 and feed into the flattener and slitter apparatus 212 where the unrolled sheet of steel 222 is formed as a relatively flat sheet of steel and slotted at predetermined locations for punching holes.
- the sheet of steel is feed into the pre-punch/press die machine where the steel is punched to form holes/apertures 48 , 58 and then stiffening ribs are pressed into the relatively flat sheet of steel for feeding into a roll former machine 216 .
- the holes/apertures 48 , 58 are generally oval shaped with a diameter of approximately 1 to 3 inches and a length of approximately 1 to 6 inches.
- the sheet of steel 222 is feed into the roll former machine 216 where a plurality of rollers 224 form and shape the panel 20 into its preferred embodiment, as described above.
- the panel 20 is then feed through the cut-off machine, where the panel 20 is cut at a predetermined length.
- the length of the panel 20 will vary depending on whether the panel is being fabricated for a wall 94 , roof 150 , or floor 130 component of the building. Accordingly, the panels 20 will have a general length of approximately 8 to 20 feet. For example, a typical wall length in the construction industry is 8 feet. Accordingly, the wall panel 20 will have a general length of 8 feet.
- the panel 20 is discharged from the panel fabricating system 200 by a run-out and discharge conveyor systems 220 . The foregoing procedure is followed until a desired number of panels 20 are fabricated.
- the steel used for making the panels 20 is preferably galvanized steel. More preferably, G-60 galvanized steel.
- the thickness of the sheet of steel 222 can vary depending on the load requirements of the building and the application of the panel 20 . Generally, the steel 222 being rolled through the rollers 224 will have a thickness range from 12 to 30 gauges. The thickness of the panels 20 will depend on their application. For example, the panel 20 will have range in thickness from 26-gauge steel to 12-gauge steel depending on whether the panel 20 is used to construct the wall, floor, ceiling, or roof components of the building.
