An apparatus for constructing walls comprising wall panels 10 and panel connection assemblies 12 wherein, in use, the panels are placed in end-to-end relation and the connection assemblies are secured in spaces between adjacent panels. Each connection assembly engages edge portions 24 of adjacent panels to form a flexible coupling therewith which under a blast incident upon said panels allows said panel edge portions to move relative to the connection assembly and to return toward their initial positions once a blast has subsided. The connection assembly may comprise two U-shaped channel members 20 with side flanges 18, shaped to co-operate with dovetail ends 24 of the panels, which have steel faces 30 sandwiching insulation 28. The members 20 may be of steel; they are bolted together and may have insulation 42, 44 and cover plates 46 associated therewith. <IMAGE> |
