Patent ID: 8596018

Claim:
A blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly comprising: a plurality of panel members, each having two major faces; wherein an interior major face defines a tension side of the first panel; wherein an exterior major face defines a compression side of the first panel; and wherein at least the tension side of the first panel member is substantially covered by fiber reinforced polymer (FRP); and a structural frame member having a substantially rectangular transverse cross-section with a compression side, a tension side, and two lateral sides, at least the tension side of the structural frame member being substantially covered by FRP; wherein the structural frame member extends from a first one of the panel members to a second one of the panel members such that the tension side of the structural frame member is connected to the compression side of the first one of the panel members, and the compression side of the structural frame member is connected to the tension side of the second one of the panel members, thereby defining a blast and ballistic protective wall panel assembly.
