Abstract:
1. A building panel assembly in combination with an adjacent panel assembly of like configuration for use in construction of an assembled building structure, each panel assembly comprising: an outer wall portion spanning an outer side of the panel assembly in a vertical direction between opposing top and bottom ends of the panel assembly and in a lateral direction between opposing first and second ends of the panel assembly; an inner wall portion spanning an inner side of the panel assembly at a location spaced inwardly from the outer wall portion so as to define a cavity therebetween; a first end portion joined between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion at the first end of the panel assembly; and a second end portion joined between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion at the second end of the panel assembly such that the inner wall portion is recessed inwardly in the lateral direction relative to the second end of the panel assembly; the first end portion including a first flange portion consisting of a planar flange member which protrudes outwardly in the lateral direction beyond the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion at the first end of the panel assembly to define a male connector; the second end portion including a second flange portion comprising an inner flange arranged to be joined to the inner wall portion and an outer flange which extends laterally outward from the inner flange, the outer flange of the second flange portion consisting of a planar flange member which forms at least one boundary of a groove defining a female connector which is recessed inwardly in the lateral direction relative to a portion of the second end portion and relative to the inner wall portion at the second end of the panel assembly so as to be arranged to receive the male connector of another panel assembly therein in an assembled configuration; wherein the inner wall portion of the building panel assembly overlaps only a portion of the outer flange of the second flange portion of the second end portion in the lateral direction; wherein the male connector of the adjacent panel assembly is inserted into the female connector of the building panel assembly; and wherein a common fastener is penetrated collectively through the inner wall portion of the adjacent panel assembly adjacent the first end of the adjacent panel assembly, the first flange portion of the adjacent panel assembly adjacent the first end of the adjacent panel assembly, and the outer flange of the second flange portion of the building panel assembly.
