Abstract
Embodiments relate to a plastic wall panel, comprising a hollow body having external walls and defining an internal cavity. The external walls include: a first major side wall, a second major side wall opposite the first major side wall, a minor top wall, a minor bottom wall, a first minor end wall and a second minor end wall opposite the first minor end wall. The minor top wall and the minor bottom wall each define mating structure to mate and align with another adjacent panel so that multiple panels can be tiled together to form at least part of a sound attenuation barrier. The hollow body defines a passage extending between the first and second major side walls and through the first and second minor end walls to receive a reinforcing beam.
Claims21
A plastic wall panel, comprising:
- a hollow body having external walls and defining an internal cavity, the external walls including:
- a first major side wall, a second major side wall opposite the first major side wall, a minor top wall, a minor bottom wall, a first minor end wall and a second minor end wall opposite the first minor end wall;
- wherein the minor top wall and the minor bottom wall each define mating structure to mate and align with another adjacent one of the panel so that multiple ones of the panel can be tiled together to form at least part of a sound attenuation barrier,
- wherein the hollow body defines a passage extending between the first and second major side walls and through the first and second minor end walls,
- wherein the first and second minor end walls define respective first and second beam apertures, and
- wherein the first and second beam apertures and the passage are configured to receive a reinforcing beam therein.
A plastic wall panel, comprising:
- a hollow body having external walls and defining an internal cavity, the external walls including:
- a first major side wall, a second major side wall opposite the first major side wall, a minor top wall, a minor bottom wall, a first minor end wall and a second minor end wall opposite the first minor end wall;
- wherein the hollow body defines a passage extending between the first and second major side walls and through the first and second minor end walls,
- wherein the first and second minor end walls define respective first and second beam apertures, and
- wherein the first and second beam apertures and the passage are configured to receive a reinforcing beam therein;
- wherein the first minor end wall has a different shape from the second minor end wall, the second minor end wall defining mating structure to mate and align with corresponding mating structure of the second minor end wall of another adjacent one of the panel so that multiple ones of the panel can be tiled together to form at least part of a sound attenuation barrier.
