Abstract:
1. A building structure having ballistic resistance, said building structure comprising: a first ballistic wall panel and a second ballistic wall panel, each of said wall panels comprising: a first corrugated wall member having vertically disposed channels; and at least two parallel spaced sheet members, said first corrugated wall member being sandwiched between the sheet members, said sheet members including a self-healing outermost sheet member and an innermost sheet member, each of said sheet members including a consolidated rigid wall section, an integral, unconsolidated flexible wall-mating edge and an integral, unconsolidated flexible roof-mating edge, said wall mating edge of said outermost sheet member of said first ballistic wall panel is coupled to said rigid section of said outermost sheet member of said second ballistic wall panel and said wall-mating edge of said innermost sheet member of said first ballistic wall panel is coupled to said rigid section of said innermost sheet member of said second ballistic wall panel; a sill extending around said building structure to define a perimeter of said building structure, said first and second ballistic wall panels being disposed within said sill; a ballistic roof panel, said roof panel comprising: a roof panel corrugated member; and at least two parallel spaced rigid ballistic roof panel sheet members, said roof panel sheet members including a self-healing roof panel outermost sheet member and a roof panel innermost sheet member, said roof panel corrugated member being sandwiched between the ballistic roof panel sheet members, said ballistic roof panel being disposed spanning across opposing wall panels of said wall panels, said flexible roof-mating edge of said outermost sheet member being fastened to said roof panel outermost sheet member and said roof-mating edge of said innermost sheet member being fastened to said roof panel innermost sheet member; and a sand filler material disposed within and fills said first and second ballistic wall panels and said ballistic roof panel; wherein the self-healing outermost sheet member and the self-healing roof panel outermost sheet member are configured to at least partially return to an original location after being penetrated by a projectile and to leave an opening smaller than the projectile.
