Abstract
A wall panel includes a frame provided with vertical battens. The frame defines a plurality of holes. A connecting plate is formed by a mixture of a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded. The wall panel includes a thermal insulation layer. A facing layer is separated from the connecting plate by the frame and thermal insulation layer. A plurality of connectors are fixed to the frame. Each connector has a salient area spaced apart from the frame and embedded in the connecting plate. The connecting plate partially overlaps the vertical battens in the thickness direction, the connecting plate forming wood-concrete studs that partially fill the plurality of holes.

1-15. (canceled)
A supporting wall panel comprising:
- a frame provided with a plurality of vertical battens made from wood, the vertical battens extending mainly in a vertical direction and a plurality of horizontal battens extending mainly in a horizontal direction, each vertical batten being fixed to at least two of the horizontal battens, the frame defining a plurality of re-entrants;
- a connecting plate formed by a first mixture comprising a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded, the connecting plate connecting all the vertical battens and all the horizontal battens;
- wherein the organic plant-derived elements represent at least 70% of the volume of the connecting plate;
- wherein the connecting plate only partially and continuously overlaps the vertical battens only in a thickness direction that is perpendicular to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction;
- and
- wherein the connecting plate has a shell arranged salient from the frame in the thickness direction and studs salient from the shell, the studs partially filling only the plurality of re-entrants, the connecting plate having a vertical compressive strength at least equal to 1 MPa.
The wall panel according to claim 15 wherein the connecting plate is fixed directly to all the horizontal battens.
