The invention includes a concrete rib panel system. The rib panel is used as a support element, and as a form for pouring concrete. The rib panel is incorporated as part of the finished structural member. The rib panel is small and light so that it can be handled without the use of lifting equipment. The method of use includes using a frame to support a first set of concrete rib panels, with spacers and connectors for a second set of concrete rib panels, forming a space between the rib panels which can be filled with concrete grout. Utilities and reinforcement can be added to the space between the rib panels before the second set of concrete rib panels are attached to produce a large composite structural member utilizing the strength of lightweight rib panels and reinforced concrete.
