Patent ID: 7856778

Claim:
A composite wall panel comprising: a) a first concrete layer; b) an insulation layer adjacent to the first concrete layer, said insulation layer comprising segmented insulation blocks; c) a second concrete layer disposed adjacent the insulation layer and opposite the first concrete layer; and d) at least one fiber reinforced polymer cage having a pair of bars secured to at least one fiber reinforced polymer shell, wherein a portion of at least one fiber reinforced polymer shell is embedded in each of the first and second concrete layers such that the fiber reinforced polymer cage secures the first concrete layer with respect to the second concrete layer, wherein the at least one fiber reinforced polymer cage defining an interior space and the at least one fiber reinforced polymer shell is a partially enclosed structure having a continuous surface about the interior space and is formed of a sheet which surrounds at least a portion of each of the first concrete layer, the insulation layer, and the second concrete layer, wherein a segmented insulation block of the insulation layer is located within the interior space.
