Reinforced structural assemblies and methods for forming such assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, a ribbed portion includes rib segments having a vertical height that extend laterally between junctions to form a network coupled to a supporting substrate. The rib segments include a plurality of flanged portions coupled to a lateral edge of the rib segments. In another embodiment, the ribbed portion includes rib segments having flanged portions on opposing lateral edges that receive opposing substrates. Similarly, a method includes forming a ribbed portion having a plurality of rib segments extending laterally between junctions. The rib segments include a plurality of flanged portions on at least one of the first and second lateral edges. First and second substrates are coupled to opposing sides of the ribbed portion. |
