Patent ID: 6898908

Claim:
A carbon fiber reinforced concrete building panel, comprising: a substantially planar concrete panel comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, an upper end and a lower end, and a substantially longitudinal axis defined between said upper end and said lower end; a first carbon fiber grid positioned within said substantially planar concrete panel between said upper end and said lower end and positioned proximate to said inner surface; a foam core having an inner surface and an outer surface positioned within said substantially planar concrete panel and extending substantially between said upper end and said lower ends of said substantially planar concrete panel; at least one carbon fiber shear strip extending through said foam and oriented in a substantially linear direction between said upper end and said lower ends of said substantially planar concrete panel; at least one first reinforcing bar positioned proximate to said at least one carbon fiber shear strip, and extending substantially between said upper end and said lower end of said substantially planar concrete panel; and a wire mesh material positioned above said upper surface of said foam core and proximate to said outer surface of said substantially planar concrete panel.
