Modular panels with ganged screw adjoining for building construction

Abstract

A modular panel has a box shape for forming a wall, floor, or roof section for constructing a building. The modular panel includes a ganged adjoining screw assembly (GASA) fixedly positioned inside of the modular panel and positioned on at least one side surface of the modular panel. Each GASA includes a plurality of adjoining screw assemblies (ASAs) and a torque limiting device configured to prevent overdriving the screw. Each ASA has a screw configured to penetrate the at least one side surface when rotated in one direction, fixedly attached to a top portion of the screw, and allowing rotational movements of the screw only inside the ASA. The modular panel further includes a penetration measuring device configured to measure an amount of penetration of the screw. The modular panel forms chase-ways inside thereof for wires and pipes.
