Abstract:
Frame supported panels with an increased load carrying capacity derived from inducing newly discovered conditions on panels made from weaker, lighter and thinner materials. The fixed/continuous/dropped condition can increase a panel's load capacity many times based on the panel's interaction with frame members. This enables foam panels, for example, to be used in structural applications. It also enables polyurethane foam with any cladding to provide a comprehensive, structural building panel that provides a finished exterior, continuous and cavity insulation, an air, moisture and vapor barrier and increased uplift resistance while eliminating condensation and thermal expansion/contraction.

Claim (Index 1):
A stiffened frame supported panel comprised of:\n a. two or more frame members having a top edge, a bottom edge and two sides and said frame members are spaced a distance apart with one or more individual spans between said frame members and b. a panel continuous over said top edges and supported by said frame members and has a continuous conditioned load capacity over each said individual span as determined by a load test measuring deflection and c. said panel has one or more dropped sections between said sides and d. said panel fixed to said frame members with a sufficient adhesive bond to induce a fixed boundary condition on said panel and e. one or more rotational resistance members attached to said sides and/or bottom edge of two or more adjacent said frame members and f. said panel is stiffened by said dropped section, said fixed boundary condition and said rotational resistance members for an increased load capacity, as determined by said load test, at least 15% greater than said continuous conditioned load capacity over at least one said individual span, whereby said panel is stiffened.
