Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0072518A2] A method of constructing a panel for use in the construction of a wall of a building, the method comprising the steps of: constructing a panel having an opening therein for a door, window or the like, the portion (1, 2, 3, 4) of the panel lying across the too of the said opening having a predetermined load-bearing capacity; and, where the actual load to be carried by the panel exceeds the said predetermined load-bearing capacity, attaching a reinforcing member (7) to the panel to increase the load-bearing capacity of the said portion of the panel. Because the reinforcing member 7 is used only where the load-bearing capacity is to be increased, for example when the panel forms part of a lower storey of multi-storey building, the wastage which is created hy constructing all of the panels of the building to have the higher load-bearing capacity is avoided. Variations in the shape and position of the reinforcing member 7 are disclosed. Claims are also directed to the panels per se, to a method of constructing a building and to the building itself.
