An assembly of extruded thermoplastic structural components for use in the construction of a building, each structural component including an elongated rigid sheet member provided with at least two integral lengthwise edgewise rails. The structural components include first flat wall structural components and second elbowed corner structural components, wherein a few of the structural components releasably slidingly interlock with one another about their rails to form a hollow elongated panel. The inside cell of the hollow panel receives concrete to be poured. The hollow panel releasably interlocks with adjacent hollow panels successively to form a continuous wall structure. The structural components in their disassembled state released from one another are compactly stackable in the smallest volume of storage, whereby shipping costs from the home country manufacture to the local building site are very low.
An assembly of extruded thermoplastic structural components for use in the construction of the upright side walls and roofing of a building, each structural component including an elongated rigid sheet member provided with at least two integral lengthwise edgewise rail members, said structural components including first and third flat wall structural components and second and fourth elbowed corner structural components, wherein the second elbowed corner structural components are provided with at least three integral lengthwise rail members, and wherein a few of said structural components are releasably slidingly interlocked with one another about their said rail members, without tools being required, to form hollow elongated panels wherein each said hollow panel defines a main body, including a flat exterior face and a flat interior face, and circumscribing a generally closed inner enclosure cell, said inner cell for receiving concrete to be poured and said hollow panel body adapted to withstand the load of a column of concrete poured therein;
