Patent ID: 7891150

Claim:
A composite truss comprising: a pair of spaced apart precast/prestressed concrete panels; a plurality of substantially vertical members spanning between the pair of spaced apart concrete panels and being substantially exposed between the pair of spaced apart concrete panels, with a first end portion of each vertical member embedded in one of the pair, and a second end portion of each vertical member embedded in an opposite one of the pair; and a plurality of diagonal members, each individual member being a continuous member, having a diagonal portion spanning between the first end of a first vertical member and the second end of a second vertical member linearly adjacent to the first vertical member, a first development length portion extending beyond the first vertical member embedded in one of the pair of concrete panels, and a second development length portion extending beyond the second vertical member embedded in an opposite one of the pair; wherein only the plurality of substantially vertical members and diagonal members traverse between the pair of spaced apart concrete panels to assist the spaced apart concrete panels to resist tension and compression forces applied to the spaced apart concrete without reinforcing concrete in each of the spaced apart concrete panels.
